Editor鈥檚 note: This episode of the Inside EMS Podcast is sponsored by Philips. Time to take pre-hospital emergency care to the next level. Time for Tempus.
For this week鈥檚 Inside EMS episode, Chris and Kelly are joined by Tim Redding, founder and CEO of , to explore a topic that鈥檚 reshaping how we think about medicine: male-centric healthcare. Tim shares insights from Dr. Alyson J. McGregor鈥檚 groundbreaking book, , which explores how medical research and education have historically centered on white male patients, leaving women underserved and misdiagnosed.
From cardiac care to drug research, Tim explains how biases have permeated everything from symptom recognition to treatment protocols. Did you know that women experiencing heart attacks rarely exhibit the 鈥渃lassic鈥� symptoms, like chest pain? Or that 8 out of 10 drugs pulled from the market between 1997 and 2001 were due to severe side effects in women?
If you鈥檙e someone passionate about improving patient outcomes, this episode will make you rethink what you know 鈥� and don鈥檛 know 鈥� about women鈥檚 health in EMS.
