Abstract
Call To Arms: Recognizing and Eliminating Bias Against Overweight and Obese Women in Women’s Health Care
One of my worst experiences as an overweight person was to have a doctor refuse to do a gynecological exam because of my size. First, I cried. Then I found a new clinic and a new doctor. But since then I have not had the courage to go to a doctor to have that type of exam done.
