DESCRIPTION:\n	The institution of medicine has always excluded women. Fr
	om ancient beliefs that the womb wandered through the body causing 'humour
	s' to 19th century Freudian hysteria\, female bodies have been marked as u
	nruly\, defective\, and lesser.\n\n\n\n	We are still feeling the effects o
	f these beliefs today. In 2008\, a study of over 16\,000 images in anatomy
	 textbooks found that the white\, heterosexual male was presented as the
	 ‘universal model’ of a human being.\n\n\n\n	We see this play out in m
	edical research\, when it isn't considered necessary to include women's ex
	periences: approximately 70% of people who experience chronic pain are wom
	en\, and yet 80% of pain study participants are men or male rats.\n\n\n\n	
	We also see these beliefs inform clinical decisions. When experiencing pai
	n\, women are more likely to be given sedatives than painkillers\, in a no
	d to the stereotype that women are more emotional and are therefore probab
	ly exaggerating the nature of their pain.\n\n\n\n	This phenomenon is known
	 as the gender pain gap\, which describes the disparities in medical care 
	that men and women receive purely due to their gender.\n\n\n\n	But while a
	wareness has risen over the last few years\, how close are we to really cl
	osing the gender pain gap?\n\n\n\n	Join The Femedic and Hysterical Women i
	n discussion with Dr Omon Imohi\, Dr Hannah Short\, and research charity W
	ellbeing of Women as we consider how far medicine has come and how far we 
	still have to go.\n\n\n\n	Register\n
