It was a good read in that it explained a lot about the history of women's health throughout all body systems. It was NOT a fun read. This is horrifying info, yet so accurate to experience. So much rage, both for the history of treatment, and with a couple of the doctors I'm currently having to deal with. So much and yet so little has changed in centuries of medicine.
