Description

The women in this story came to a fertility clinic at Yale hoping to become pregnant. They arrived expecting the utmost in care. But when a surgical procedure caused them excruciating pain, their doctors dismissed it.


Susan Burton is the host of The Retrievals, a podcast that exposes what was actually going on behind the scenes. In this episode, we discuss the shocking source of the patients’ pain and ask why we still tolerate and misinterpret women’s pain.
