On becoming a healer : the journey from patient care to caring about your patients / by Weiner, Saul J.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Physician or technician? -- Healing interactions -- Your personal journey -- Overcoming judgmentalism -- Engaging with boundary clarity -- Caring -- Making medical decisions -- Healers are realists -- Physician or technician? Revisited -- Healing as an organizing principle"The author examines how physicians are socialized in their education and training. This socialization leads many to adopt a professional persona that undermines patient-physician interactions and the physician's inner life. Instead the author recommends that physicians embrace the core beliefs of "engagement" and "boundary setting." He details an approach for how physicians in training can incorporate these beliefs into their practice"--

Bleed : destroying myths and misogyny in endometriosis care / by Lindeman, Tracey,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 274-319).Prologue: Anger can be power -- What do I get? Navigating the healthcare minefield -- Oh bondage, up yours! How the system got its power -- Open up and bleed: The mental dimensions of pain -- Typical girls: Intersections -- Nervous breakdown: The great birth control swindle -- We're desperate: To breed or not to breed? -- I wanna be well: The pain scale and other lies -- Notice of eviction: 2 legit 2 quit (the system) -- Bad reputation: Burning it down -- Epilogue: Born to lose, live to win."A scorching examination of how we treat endometriosis today Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That's the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as endometriosis. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood--and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo care, often leaving patients worse off than when they arrived. Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of BLEED--part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day. BLEED isn't a self-help book. It's an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging read. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur readers to fight for nothing short of revolution."--
