Medicine and Women

[Helen Hansma]

My doc is talking hormone replacement for protection against 
heart disease, and I'm pretty opposed.  An aspirin a day seems 
like a much lower impact drug treatment, but - does it work for 
women?  It's only been tested for men.  I don't know if this is 
what you're looking for, but it's what affects me at the 
moment in terms of problems with women's medicine.  

I think it's important for women to become involved in decision 
making on medical research, since part of the problem is 
doubtless that men are carrying out research on problems that 
interest them.
