Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan talks brilliantly about how women have been silenced in healthcare in 'Unheard' 📚💙 This is often due to the marginalisation of women in science & therefore research But also how women have advocated & fought back to be heard 🩷 #pedanticzebra #bookclub
Alt text:
Quote graphic from Pedantic Zebra Bookclub and Long Covid Advocacy. The quote reads:
"In essence women have been systemically under-researched, doubted, under-investigated and under-treated. Their ability as knowledge-producers has been discredited. The androcentric, racist and ableist roots of Western medicine have silenced the voices of women, particularly the most marginalised, and led to a lack of knowledge about their own bodies."
— Dr. Rageshri Dhaiyawan
The graphic features a small image of the book Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing and the logos of Pedantic Zebra and Long Covid Advocacy. The background is dark blue with gradient design elements.

I remember the cystic fibrosis patients I took care of 20 years ago. I also remember the dedicated HIV wards in the hospitals, and that Princess Diana made headlines for shaking hands with AIDS patients. Progress has been incredible. Miracles are where you choose to see them.
Screenshot of tweet from @AlecStapp
“Too many people take biomedical innovation for granted.”
Below this is a screenshot from an article on the Atlantic.com.  Highlighted is the text: “A child born with cystic fibrosis in the 50s could expect to live until age 5.  In the 70s, age 10.  In the early 2000s, age 35.  With Trikafta came a quantum leap.  Today those who begin taking the drug in early adolescence, a recent study projected, can expect to survive to age 82.5 - an essentially normal lifespan.”
