I read Invisible Women a couple of years ago and was also horrified. I wish everyone would read it :( It's wild to think, especially in the pharma industry, how little diversity there is when testing is done. I have PCOS and recently discovered that most Mediterranean women have it. Of course, it's not exclusive to us. Still, it's much more common, so when I went to the private Gyno in Turkey, she was a lot more relaxed about it versus my Gyno as a Teenager who prescribed me a contraceptive pill that was blocked a couple of years later as it was too dangerous to be taken.
