Endometriosis, pain bias and the 'strong Black woman' stereotype

In this week's episode, host and final year medical student Linda speaks with Anita Jones (Instagram/Twitter) about endometriosis. We discuss why it takes an average of over 7 years to be diagnosed, what needs to change and much more. The discussion provides advice for both people with endo and healthcare professionals from all fields.

The conversation is relevant to other conditions too, as we also discuss how female suffering is often normalized, and how Black women's pain is perceived differently due to medical racism.
