Synopsis
'Doctors set themseves up as Gods and women treat them like that.' Women are the most frequent users of the health system, but they know little of how their bodies work. Most often decisions are in the hands of medical experts, who most often are men. This frank program is designed to encourage women to actively participate in their care, ask more questions about their condition and demand to be treated with respect.
