This is very true - and published data supports just how bad it actually is! Women are routinely diagnosed later than men when presenting with the same stage of disease and same symptoms. Women are much more likely to be given advice about treating depression versus their actual symptoms than men are. The list goes on and on. . .

The didn’t even test menstrual products with actual blood 🩸 until the last few years 😂🤣😜

Higher #cardiovascular disease … and it’s so much worse for #black and:or women of color because good old systemic #racism some #american #idiots refuse to acknowledge

I can go off about that 😂🤣🫂

If you’re a #woman in the #U.S., the healthcare system will:

• Ignore your pain

• Underpay your doctor

• Blame your anxiety

• Kill you during pregnancy

It’s not broken. It’s working as designed.

Amazing! I didn’t know that.

Here’s another insight - A preprint of a paper published in 2023 by credible researchers from Columbia University, Gates Foundation, and Janssen R&D entitled “Large-scale characterization of gender differences in diagnosis prevalence and time to diagnosis” (doi:10.1101/2023.10.12.23296976) doesn’t seem to have been fully published yet.

The findings clearly document a broad and serious discrepancy using large databases that are publicly accessible.

WTF?
