Did you know that women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with a mental health condition when presenting cardiovascular symptoms? Or that, on average, it takes women ten years to be diagnosed with endometriosis? On the latest episode of Ask the Expert, we dive into this topic and the long history of women feeling dismissed or ignored when it comes to their health. We are joined by Christie VanHorne, a consultant with CVH Consulting, who has developed training modules to demystify gender bias in healthcare. Christie walks us through the tools of how to identify gender bias, what is best when we relate to doctors and clinical staff when trying to have our voices heard, and most importantly, she reminds us that this is a cultural systemic issue. A great listen for the bleeding disorder community!
