A very good edition of Woman's Hour this morning about various aspects of women's health, all of it worth listening to, but of particular interest to us was a feature on a new approach to research into autoimmune conditions looking at the commonality between them and how they arise.
The discussion starts at about minute 40, but as I said, all of it is worth listening to. It's too soon after the broadcast for it to be on BBC Sounds yet so I can't give the link at the moment, but it should be available shortly. *
By the way, although the stress is inevitably on the female experience, this particular item will be of interest to male sufferers too.
I listened to it and I was raging at the Govt spokesperson I would like half an hour with her gagged and tied to a chair so she had to listen. Thick or she lives in another world not the one I live in. How the presenter kept her cool I will never know.
Obvious she has not even read the book by Dr Alyson j McGregor:
Sex Matters:
How male-centric medicine endangers women's health and what we can do about it.
Do you mean the opening interview with Nadine Dorries - evasive, complacent, hypocritical ? I thought Emma Barnett handled her brilliantly, especially when she accused her (accurately) of ''victim blaming''. I do recommend people to listen to the whole programme if possible.
It was great but I was raging when Nadine Dorries said to stand up to doctors.
Personally I think the solution is that women are listened to. What a thing to say! I've had a range of GP's over the last few years - the ones that listen were great and should be the norm!
