Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD:

JESSICA PETTWAY died of cervical cancer at age 36. She had 3 hospitalizations in 7 mos requiring 18 blood transfusions before anyone did a pelvic exam. Our tendency to dismiss women’s symptoms, especially if the women are Black or other WoC, literally kills.

And other countries... Are we truly the developed world when half the population gets dismissed when it matters the most?
