In her book Sex Cells, Phyllis Greenberger says doctors didn’t consider biological sex. If it was successful on a man, they’d blanketly use it on a woman.
Welcome everyone. I'm Dr. John White. I'm the chief medical officer at WebMD. Does your biologic sex impact your health? Does it have any play in how you're diagnosed, how you're treated in terms of what symptoms you have? Of course it does. We all know that. But that's not something that many people believed 5, 10 years ago, certainly not 20 years ago.
I think it's misinformation, and I gave a presentation, I don't know how many years ago, at least 20 years ago, about the curriculum. And at the time, there was no women's health in the curriculum. It was health. So if it was on cardiovascular issues or on osteoporosis, it was sort of the basic. And at the time, there would maybe be one woman whose job was women's health, and she'd have an office, and otherwise there was nothing.
What could women do today? What should women listeners hear and then be doing? Should they be saying something to their doctor? Should they be asking specific questions? When they interact with the health care system, how can they make sure they're getting the best care that's appropriate for them when we know that sex cells matter?
