Podcast 181 - Discrepancies in Testing & Treatment
from FOAMfrat Podcast
Does medicine have dangerous side effects for women? Are the "normal" values we have set for diagnostics possibly endangering specific populations? In this episode of the FOAMfrat podcast, Tyler sits down with Dr.Alyson McGregor, emergency physician and author of Sex Matters, and Tim Redding, EMS educator and lecturer, to discuss the discrepancies in medical testing, diagnosis, and treatment between male and female patients. Dr. McGregor shares her journey of discovering gender bias in medicine, particularly how women's symptoms are often dismissed or mislabeled as psychiatric in nature. The discussion explores how male-centric research has shaped clinical guidelines, leading to underdiagnosis and undertreatment of women across a wide range of conditions—from heart attacks to strokes and even pain management.
