Description: 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 marginalising 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.
