Women play a vast amount of roles in their lives, but more often than not, we become caretakers for our spouses, children, or other loved ones. But what happens when we become the ones that need care, and we’re not sure where to turn? Luckily for us, today’s guest Susan Salenger, author of “Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System” is here to help unravel the complicated layers that come with dealing with health issues.
In today’s conversation, we speak about why multiple opinions are necessary for making any kind of medical decision, the current inequalities of how men are treated in this system vs women, how women can step confidently into these conversations with their doctors, and many more tips for moving through America’s health system with knowledge and confidence.
