Description
Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan's experience of being denied pain medication while in hospital as a patient had a profound impact on her understanding of the healthcare system. She realized that a fundamental flaw in the way medicine is practiced lies in the assumption that power should always reside with the doctor, leaving patients powerless to decisions about their own bodies.
Throughout history, this approach has led to significant gaps in medical knowledge, as the voices of patients have been consistently overlooked. In "Unheard", Dr Dhairyawan takes a critical look at the origins of Western medicine and how it has been shaped by societal prejudices, highlighting the need for a more inclusive and patient-centred approach to healthcare.
This thought-provoking book is a call to action, encouraging readers to re-examine the way medicine is practiced and to listen to the voices that have been silenced for too long.
