That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That’s the reality for more than 190 million people suffering from 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJournalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of \u003cem\u003eBleed\u003c\/em\u003e — part memoir, part investigative journalism, and a scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, \u003cem\u003eBleed\u003c\/em\u003e tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalising women. Using an intersectional lens, \u003cem\u003eBleed\u003c\/em\u003e dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBleed\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430169690348,"sku":"9781770416536","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781770416536.jpg?v=1774559614","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/bleed-by-tracey-lindeman-9781770416536","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
