Have you ever experienced chronic or unknown pain, only to find it difficult to get anyone to listen to you? Then Pain and Prejudice is a novel that you must read. Even if you have been lucky enough not to have chronic pain in your life, Gabrielle Jackson’s novel is an informative read for all.
Pain and Prejudice: How the Medical System Ignores Women – And What We Can Do About It revolves around pain, the medical world, and women. Gabrielle Jackson is an investigative reporter, one with a very personal connection to this novel. She has endometriosis, and her experience looking for (and getting) treatment seemed to start her on this path.
It is my own experience with endometriosis that made me realize that I had to read this book. I knew that it would hit close to home on many occasions, but that just made it all the more important. Though if I’m being truly honest, I think I would have read the book anyway – the title alone is pretty eye-catching.
The timing and importance of Pain and Prejudice cannot be ignored. While the facts that Jackson cites weigh heavy on my heart, I am happy to be more informed on the subject. I think it is important knowledge, especially for anyone seeking to take control over their medical situation.
