 Dr Alyson J McGregor On Her Book 'Why Sex Matters'

Dr Alyson J McGregor is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and the Co-Founder and Director  of the university’s Division of Sex and Gender in Emergency Medicine (SGEM).  She is also the author of Sex Matters: How Male-Centric Medicine Endangers Women’s Health - and What We Can Do About It, a fascinating examination of how women have long been (and still are) shortchanged in healthcare. Taking in everything from the way in which scientific studies have  neglected the differences in how the sexes respond to medication to the fact that traditional diagnostic symptoms - for instance for heart attack and stroke - don’t include how these diseases can manifest in women and much, much more, it is an absolutely riveting and essential read. As you can imagine, she was totally fascinating to speak to. We discussed all of this as well as how Covid 19 had impacted her work in the emergency department, the struggles with PPE, and why the coronavirus has only underscored the urgency of recognising the role of sex in medicine.
