What happens when it makes you feel worse? In \u003cem\u003eEmpowHERed Health: Reforming a Dismissive Health Care System\u003c\/em\u003e, author S. Mayumi \"Umi\" Grigsby discusses the potential link between negative interactions with health professionals and health inequity with a focus on Black women in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpurred by her own experience with doctors who, for years, dismissed her pain, Grigsby was finally vindicated by a doctor who was a woman of color. Confirming her suspicion with a diagnosis of a shocking number of uterine fibroids, Grigsby wondered if other women were being treated similarly.

Grigsby shares her story as well as theirs in the hope of helping others navigate through a health care system that seems to shrug them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 324\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 12, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53117656727663,"sku":"9781636766775","price":39.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4966\/4879\/files\/WGpTT3U2N0pTMlg3QVBHTDNQR1pKUT09.webp?v=1779090707","url":"https:\/\/finderbooks.com\/products\/empowhered-health-reforming-a-dismissive-health-care-system-hardcover","provider":"Finder Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
