This makes my heart happy. I had so much medical trauma as a girl and young woman in Utah. I don’t know if folx from other states quite grok the nature of Utah’s androcracy. My physicians’ prime directive was to keep me well so I could be a healthy wife and mother, in that order. Congrats to Jolene for advocating for exactly the health care team she wanted. ❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing Jolene's post. As she says it's never easy particularly as a woman. But with support of other women we have the shared strength to carry on.
