Ms. Diagnosed

An intimate and personal film about the most urgent public health issue we face, which asks at its core – do we value women? And perhaps more importantly – how much do women value themselves?

Ms. Diagnosed takes the #METOO movement into the medical world, uncovering the nearly lethal misdiagnosis of three women due to a faulty system of science created by men, for men. The film examines how this system came to be, and tries to uncover why it perpetuates. Tracing a political history that attempted to institute changes over twenty years ago, and interweaving the words of doctors and scientists, the film becomes a call to action to empower and engage all of us to take control of this wayward medical system and advocate for ourselves. *TreatMeLikeAWoman will be the new rallying call as women and men come to learn just how dangerous it is to be female in the world of medicine...
