Gender bias in healthcare means women wait longer and suffer more | Caitlin Keating

This week, Natalie and Rae sit down with documentary producer Caitlin Keating whose Netflix film "Take Care of Maya" shines a light on a very dark corner of gender bias in healthcare. Women already face a persistent gender pain gap in medical care, and despite being more likely to experience chronic pain conditions at 80%, women routinely have their symptoms dismissed or attributed to psychological factors rather than legitimate medical issues. It takes an average of 4.6 years to diagnose an autoimmune disease, and women wait even longer than men to get diagnosed. There is a growing awareness around autoimmune diseases, but the bottom line is that women remain their own health champions, and we have a long way to go. Just ask Maya.CHAPTERS...00:00 – The Invisible Crisis Affecting Healthcare for Every Woman09:43 – Behind the Scenes of a Mother’s Munchausen by Proxy Accusation29:29 – From Awareness to Action: Advocacy That Drives ChangeEPISODE CREDITS...Hosted by Natalie Lizarraga and Rae WilliamsDirected by Lauren AmesExecutive Produced by Sydney Kramer and Rachel ApirianProduced by Lauren Ames, Rae Williams, and Natalie LizarragaFilmed & Edited by Chanelle TysonBROADLINES IS ALSO ON...SpotifyAppleJOIN THE CONVERSATION...InstagramLinkedInTikTokXWebsiteBroadlines is a production of The Female Quotient and recorded in Los Angeles, California.
