🎙️ In this solo episode I'm reflecting on the side of medicine most women know too well and why so many of us keep falling through the cracks.

🔬 I break down medical paternalism, how it's baked into the system, and why the profession actively attracts and rewards a god complex that costs women their health, their autonomy, and their money.

⚡ We get into the patriarchy's role in medicine, from the origin of the word "hysteria" to why your physical symptoms keep getting rerouted into anxiety diagnoses and the very real economic toll that takes on women.

📋 I also share ten practical strategies for navigating the system right now, because the system isn't going to fix itself and you deserve to know how to protect yourself inside it.
