Since November last year between 800-1200 schoolgirls across Iran have been falling ill. 

It's a terrifying crisis, and one who don't have answers for yet. There are theories as to why this is happening, from targeted attacks, to mass hysteria. But under it all, is a fear that this is retribution for daring to speak out against the regime. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look into this mysterious case of mass poisoning, and the fear it will end a generation of women's education.

Two years ago Kirsty Bryant was excited to meet her first baby. But after a traumatic birth experience, she needed a hysterectomy to stop a haemorrhage and save her life.

Left without a uterus, Kirsty had to grieve the future babies she had envisioned for her family, until she stumbled across a medical trial that is changing all that. 

In this episode of The Quicky we speak to Kirsty - Australia's first ever uterus transplant patient and the doctor that made it all possible.

How often are women's health conditions misdiagnosed? Well, it turns out, quite often. 

The medical system all over the world has been, and remains, led by men, for men, using men as the yardstick for conditions and the medicines to treat them. 

That means women are at risk of adverse reactions to medications, different outcomes to surgery and treatment and misdiagnosis all due to gender bias.

In this episode of The Quicky we look at how we deal with a system that's supposed to help us and heal us, when it may not even really know what's going on with us in the first place.

It's the case that's been unpacked on Netflix's new docuseries, Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal. A story with five people dead under unusual or suspicious circumstances all seemingly connected to one very powerful and influential family, the Murdaugh's. 

Last week, Alex Murdaugh, the prime suspect for two of the five deaths, was convicted of murdering his wife and son. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Michael DeWitt, a local reporter who has been covering the case since the very beginning, to answer some of the questions left behind after the verdict.

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert to find out what's going on with our economy and why Aussies are paying a high price for monetary policy?
