  • Summary

  • Why do we know more about some bodies than others, and how do sex and gender shape our experiences navigating Australia’s health system? ‘Hysterical’ is a new podcast series by SBS News, exploring medical misogyny and discrimination in our health system. We explore why women, trans and gender diverse people are more likely to be dismissed for their experiences of pain, as well as barriers around birth trauma, sexual and reproductive health and delayed diagnoses. Follow us on this investigation into Australia’s health system, as we try to answer these questions and more.

    Hysterical: whose bodies do we study, and is our treatment falling behind?
    Aug 13 2024
    The male body is still treated as the default in medicine, despite progress around women's health issues.
