Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they just realized\Nthat women metabolize the drug

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,causing them to wake up in the morning\Nwith more of the active drug in the system

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I can't help but think,\Nas an emergency physician,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,World War II changed a lot of things,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and one of them was this need\Nto protect people

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So some much-needed guidelines\Nor rules were set into place,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and part of that was this desire\Nto protect women of childbearing age
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from entering into any\Nmedical research studies.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was fear, what if something happened\Nto the fetus during this study?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who would be responsible.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so the scientists\Nat this time actually thought
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this was a blessing in disguise,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because let's face it,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,men's bodies are pretty homogeneous.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don't have the constantly\Nfluctuating levels of hormones
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that could disrupt clean data\Nthey could get if they had only men.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was easier. It was cheaper.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not to mention, at this time,\Nthere was a general assumption
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that men and women were alike in every way
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,apart from their reproductive organs\Nand sex hormones.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it was decided:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,medical research was performed on men
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the results were later\Napplied to women.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What did this do to the notion\Nof women's health?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Women's health became synonymous\Nwith reproduction:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,breasts, ovaries, uterus, pregnancy.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's this term we now refer to\Nas bikini medicine.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this stayed this way\Nuntil about the 1980s,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when this concept was challenged\Nby the medical community
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and by the public health policymakers\Nwhen they realized that,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by excluding women\Nfrom all medical research studies,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we actually did them a disservice,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in that apart from reproductive issues,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,virtually was nothing was known about\Nthe unique needs of the female patient.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Since that time, an overwhelming amount\Nof evidence has come to light
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that shows us just how different\Nmen and women are in every way.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, we have this saying in medicine:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,children are not just little adults.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we say that to remind ourselves\Nthat children actually have
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a different physiology than normal adults.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's because of this that the medical\Nspecialty of pediatrics came to light.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we now conduct research on children\Nin order to improve their lives.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I know the same thing\Ncan be said about women.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Women are not just men\Nwith boobs and tubes,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they have their own anatomy\Nand physiology
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that deserves to be studied\Nwith the same intensity.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's take the cardiovascular\Nsystem, for example.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This are in medicine has done the most\Nto try to figure out why it seems

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Heart disease is the number one killer\Nfor both men and women,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but more women die within the first year\Nof having a heart attack than men.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Men will complain of crushing chest pain.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so what is some of the evidence\Nto help explain some of these differences?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we look at the anatomy,
