A comprehensive "what-you-need-to-know" resource guide for women of all ages and stages of life who want to understand and take charge of their own health and healthcare, presented in short, focused and easy-to-read chapters.
For many women, middle school health class is the first and last time they learn about what to expect from their bodies and how to take care of their health. After that, there are few, if any, required lessons or books, outside of reproductive care, that empower women to have better health.
Orthopedic surgeon Mary I. O'Connor and medical anthropologist Kanwal L. Haq are out to change that! In their woman-centric anthology on modern health and healthcare, O'Connor and Haq have engaged leading women physicians and health experts from all across the country on a range of topics that matter to women, and those who love them.
Taking Care of You empowers women through a unique approach which highlights the current landscape of women's health and covers 55 common clinical conditions that impact women. Each clinical conditions chapter includes:
+ What is the condition?
+ Can it be prevented?
+ How is it treated?
+ Why it matters to women? (Including differences related to sex, race, and ethnicity)
+ Questions to ask your physician and healthcare team
+ Pearls of wisdom from clinical experts
+ Illustrations to make the information easy to understand and remember
Written in an inclusive, supportive voice, Taking Care of You goes beyond clarifying common clinical conditions and provides practical advice on what women can do to take better care of their health.
The book illuminates:
+ How to find the right doctor or clinician
+ When to go to urgent care vs the emergency department
+ How to use the internet for medical information
+ How to get the most out of telehealth
+ What to do if your illness is a mystery
+ Navigating healthcare as a woman of color or gender minority
+ What to know about women's health research
+ The latest on personalized medicine
+ How to promote health in your everyday life
Taking Care of You is an accessible, jargon-free guide for women of all ages to empower them to advocate for their own health. This is a book to be passed around from daughter to mom, to sister, to aunt, to grandmother - an essential resource for every woman, and those who love her.
