Health Choices Self Care or Sidelined
In this episode, I talk to Susan Salenger about her book SIDELINED: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System.
Sidelined examines the many ways in which some women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare. Susan explores how women, typically the medical gatekeepers for their families, tend to be highly conscientious about taking care of themselves, yet at the same time, inadvertently undermine their care. They often hesitate to call the doctor when they don't feel well and worry that their doctor's visit will take time away from their families or work. They may hesitate to ask doctors the necessary questions and don't always comply with the doctor's instructions. Susan Salenger's research reveals how conflicted many women are about the medical decisions they ultimately make.
Susan was such a joy to talk to, and I admired that her first book was written at the age of eighty, which should inspire all of us who would like to write a book and think it's too late. No, it isn't!
