"I Got 1hr of Menopause Training!" | Dr. Mary Claire Haver

I got one hour of menopause in medical school. Every clinician who touches a woman should have required menopause training, not just hot flashes, night sweats, and what HRT may or may not do for you, but how our sex differs in disease and how we need to treat women differently. I mean, if you read Eleanor Cleghorn's, the Unwell Woman, and you look at the Invisible Woman just came out, just looking at how in science women are just kind of ignored because we're harder. Harder to study, maybe. Yeah, and so we're not little men. We're more than just a man running, a short man running around with a breast and a uterus. So we're actually, the way we present with disease, the way we're treated with disease is vastly different. So what started out with like hot flashes and weight gain is actually a much bigger, bigger picture.
