| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: Outrageous Practices Leslie Laurence, Beth Weinhouse, 1997 Women's health is threatened by gender bias on three fronts: bias against women patients, bias against women doctors, health practitioners, and medical scientists, and bias against women as medical research subjects. Outrageous Practices, a highly acclaimed best-seller newly available in paperback, chronicles the history of a prejudiced health care establishment and shows how the current system remains captive to male-dominated medicine and research. The book examines how gender discrimination manifests itself in hospitals, physicians's and psychiatrists's offices, medical schools, research labs, government health-related agencies, and biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. KEY POINTS: o New paperback edition of a powerful book about gender bias in the medical establishment. o New preface by authors brings the issues up-to-date. |

| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: Invisible Girls Patti Feuereisen, 2018-12-04 A powerful source of healing for teen girls and young women who have experienced sexual abuse, Invisible Girls offers survivors agency and hope in an era when too many girls have suffered alone The statistics are staggering. One in four girls will experience sexual abuse by the time she is sixteen, and 48 percent of all rapes involve a young woman under the age of eighteen. It's not surprising then, that in a society where sexual abuse of young women is rampant, many women never share their stories. They remain hidden and invisible. In her pioneering work with young survivors through the last thirty years, Dr. Patti Feuereisen has helped teen girls and young women to find their voices, begin healing, and become visible. In this revised second edition, Dr. Patti's gentle guidance and the girls' powerful stories continue to create an encouraging message: Remarkable healing is possible if girls learn to share their stories in their teens and early twenties. With a new introduction, new chapters, and updated resources, this new edition of Invisible Girls has even more to offer girls, young women, and those who care about them. |

| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: Everything You Need to Know About Menopause Ellen Phillips, 2003-01-01 Menopause: New Directions. No two women go through menopause in exactly the same way. One experiences hot flashes that will melt steel; other suffer chills - or one of 50 other possible mental or physical changes. In the past, most women confronted by menopause had two choices: Suffer the symptom (usually in silence), or take a hormone pill. But thanks to the startling findings of the Women's Health Initiative Study, which concluded that the potential health hazards of using Prempro, an estrogen-progesterone, combination, outweighed its benefits, and the subsequent National Toxicology Program's classification of estrogen as a carcinogen, women - and their doctors - have been thrown into turmoil. |

| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: HEAVY! Richard B. McKenzie, 2011-09-30 America’s emerging “fat war” threatens to pit a shrinking population of trim Americans against an expanding population of heavy Americans in raging policy debates over “fat taxes” and “fat bans.” These “fat policies” would be designed to constrain what people eat and drink – and theoretically crimp the growth in Americans’ waistlines and in the country’s healthcare costs. Richard McKenzie’s HEAVY! The Surprising Reasons America Is the Land of the Free—And the Home of the Fat offers new insight into the economic causes and consequences of America's dramatic weight gain over the past half century. It also uncovers the follies of seeking to remedy the country’s weight problems with government intrusions into people’s excess eating, arguing that controlling people’s eating habits is fundamentally different from controlling people’s smoking habits. McKenzie controversially links America’s weight gain to a variety of causes: the growth in world trade freedom, the downfall of communism, the spread of free-market economics, the rise of women's liberation, the long-term fall in real minimum wage, and the rise of competitive markets on a global scale. In no small way – no, in a very BIG way – America is the “home of the fat” because it has been for so long the “land of the free.” Americans’ economic, if not political, freedoms, however, will come under siege as well-meaning groups of “anti-fat warriors” seek to impose their dietary, health, and healthcare values on everyone else. HEAVY! details the unheralded consequences of the country's weight gain, which include greater fuel consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases, reduced fuel efficiency of cars and planes, growth in health insurance costs and fewer insured Americans, reductions in the wages of heavy people, and required reinforcement of rescue equipment and hospital operating tables. McKenzie advocates a strong free-market solution to how America's weight problems should and should not be solved. For Americans to retain their cherished economic freedoms of choice, heavy people must be held fully responsible for their weight-related costs and not be allowed to shift blame for their weight to their genes or environment. Allowing heavy Americans to shift responsibility for their weight gain can only exacerbate the country’s weight problems. |

| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: Abortion in the United States Dorothy E. McBride, Jennifer L. Keys, 2018-07-20 Distinctive in its use of two disciplinary lenses—sociology and political science—Abortion in the United States provides a balanced scholarly analysis of the most salient issues in the pro-life/pro-choice debate. According to the CDC, more than 660,000 legal abortions were performed in the United States in 2013, yet despite these numbers, or perhaps because of them, the abortion war rages on in state legislatures, in Congress, and in court rooms. This work offers an eye-opening look at the enduring cultural clash between reproductive rights activists, who have argued that access to safe, legal abortion is critical for ensuring women's equality, and impassioned activists seeking to overturn Roe v. Wade, who fervently believe that abortion is unethical. Written for high school and college students as well as for general audiences seeking to better understand opposing viewpoints, it gives readers essential background information and addresses persistent questions regarding the abortion debate. The new Perspectives chapter features the compelling voices of those engaged in the front lines of this battle alongside those of scholars from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Notable activists and leading advocacy groups are profiled, followed by the latest data on abortion rates and public opinion. Carefully curated documents and recommended news outlets, websites, documentaries, and academic readings invite continued exploration. |

| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: Medical Sexism Jill B. Delston, 2019-10-17 Doctors routinely deny patients access to hormonal birth control prescription refills, and this issue has broad interest for feminism, biomedical ethics, and applied ethics in general. Medical Sexism argues that such practices violate a variety of legal and moral standards, including medical malpractice, informed consent, and human rights. Jill B. Delston makes the case that medical sexism serves as a major underlying cause of these systemic and persistent violations. Delston also considers other common abuses in the medical field, such as policy on abortion access and treatment in childbirth. Delston argues that sexism is a better explanation for the widespread abuse of patient autonomy in reproductive health and health care generally. Identifying, addressing, and rooting out medical sexism is necessary to successfully protect medical and moral values. |

| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: Sidelined Susan Salenger, 2022-04-10 DON'T MAKE ANOTHER HEALTHCARE DECISION WITHOUT READING THIS BOOK. Learn how to navigate a broken healthcare system. I told my doctors about my pain for years, but they told me it was all in my head... My doctor said I needed a hysterectomy to relieve my symptoms that I was sure were just normal menopause. Unfortunately, I agreed to the surgery anyway. Why did I agree to that?” If men had cramps, they'd have cured this by now... These and countless other comments from women who've suffered at the hands of the healthcare industry are frighteningly common, but they don't have to be. Sidelined describes how our healthcare system has marginalized women and made it seemingly impossible for them to take control over their own healthcare. But what's behind this nationwide medical crisis? In Sidelined, writer and researcher Susan Salenger explains why women are misdiagnosed more often than men, and why their symptoms often go unrecognized or are even disputed. This book teaches women how to ask the right questions to get the care they deserve. It equips readers with the knowledge, language, and tools they need to overcome the gender bias in the medical industry and get the best healthcare possible.

| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: The Horrors of Holistic Medicine June B. Schmidt, 2017-03-15 For 16 years, the author was a patient at a clinic run by doctors associated with the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA) who claimed to treat the “whole person” – body, mind, and spirit. As a Christian, this “whole person” philosophy initially appealed to her; however, 16 years later, she realized how completely she had been duped by their unorthodox medical practices. They had subtly brainwashed her to believe she could control her life – and her health. Their advice was not healing; it was destroying her health – body, mind, and spirit. For eight years the author was prescribed iron tablets and iron shots for a “stubborn case” of anemia. When she finally referred herself to a hematologist in late 1981, she learned she never had had iron deficiency anemia; she suffered from a hemolytic process – the anemia of infection and cancer. Her hematologist referred her to a gynecologist who, two weeks later, suspecting ovarian cancer, scheduled her for a hysterectomy. This surgery probably saved her life. After surgery, she thought all her physical complaints would end, but the mystery continued to deepen as new, unexplained symptoms plagued her. With the help of God and her new medical doctors, the mystery was finally resolved – another condition created by her holistic healers. This story is the author’s personal struggle back to “wholeness” once she realized the harm her holistic doctors’ unholy practices had inflicted on her body. The journey back to health was puzzling and often depressing as she struggled through the anger and rage of being deceived by medical professionals she trusted. Only with the help of new, competent doctors and a lot of prayer was she able to achieve wellness and forgive her unscrupulous doctors. |

| do primary care doctors do pelvic exams: Immobility and Medicine Cecilia Vindrola-Padros, Bruno Vindrola-Padros, Kyle Lee-Crossett, 2020-10-02 Recent work in the mobilities literature has highlighted the importance of thinking about mobility and immobility as a continuum, where movement intersects with processes that might entail episodes of transition, waiting, emptiness, and fixity. This focus on stillness, things that are stuck, incomplete or in a state of transition can point to new theoretical, methodological and practical dimensions in social studies of medicine. This edited volume brings the concept of immobility to the forefront of social studies of medicine to explore how immobility shapes processes of medical care and the theoretical and methodological challenges of studying immobility in medical contexts. The authors in this volume draw from a wide range of case studies across the globe to make contributions to our current understanding of health, illness and medicine, mobilities and immobilities.
