I am finishing "All in Her Head" by Elizabeth Comen and it has been something that I can only read/listen to in short time periods. I'm glad to learn of the history of women and medicine, and this is saddening and enraging at the same time.

Same, Kim! I had to process each chapter in small chunks. Just today a patient brushed off her abdominal pain and I stopped her. We talked about this book!

My work colleague and breast cancer survivor published her 2nd novel this year - it is FABULOUS. It’s called Relative Strangers by AH Kim.
