Download or read book The Hidden Malpractice written by Gena Corea and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1985 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gena Corea's ground-breaking account of the male stranglehold on women's health care is as urgently needed today as it was upon first publication in 1977. It is a chilling documentation of past and present discrimination against women by doctors, hospitals, and medical schools, brought up to date for this new edition. Part I is devoted to historical and contemporary perspectives on the maltreatment of women health professionals; Part II goes on to graphically expose the victimization of women patients in chapters on childbirth, abortion, birth control, the DES scandal, the "hysterical female," and such medical "wonders" as hysterectomies, cesareans, and mastectomies."--
