Three male hernia surgeons, three strikes. Two decades after fighting for multiple correct diagnoses, I'm being BRUSHED OFF AGAIN. But this time, I'm prepared and I won't tolerate it. In fact, I'm writing and sharing it so every woman knows it's time to stop this healthcare discrimination. As an athletic woman, I'm done being dismissed and downplayed. It's time this issue is acknowledged and addressed for eveyone who is being ignored and left to lose their quality of life.

Behind the scene in big box retail pharmacies,-employees are stretched to the limit-burned out, overworked, and forced to meet unrealistic expectations, putting pharmacists, techs and patient safety at risk.
