#205: Clitoral Advocacy with Jessica Pin

Medical Errors

Jessica Pin highlights the prevalence of medical errors, particularly in women's health, attributing them to systemic issues like denial and politics. She believes these errors are preventable but persist due to a lack of feedback and learning from mistakes, unlike other fields like aviation and nuclear power 1. Jessica shares her personal experience with a male surgeon who performed a procedure he wasn't trained for, leading to significant harm 2.

I think he had no idea what he was doing and he removed more than he intended to remove.

I acknowledge your rage and your anger. I'm sorry that you've had to go through all of this.
