Reseña del libro "Side Effects: How the War on Abortion Is Making Us All Sicker (en Inglés)"

A powerful argument from Politico's health care reporter that the overturning of Roe compromised healthcare in the U.S. far beyond reproductive rightsIn the turbulent aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the United States has been plunged into a new and poorly documented healthcare crisis. Alice Ollstein's explosive reporting offers an urgent, on-the-ground look at a medical system under siege, in which millions of patients and providers have been caught up in the dragnet of the new abortion restrictions, affecting all aspects of reproductive care generally--and well beyond.Ollstein, Politico's health care reporter and one of News Media Alliances "Rising Stars," exposes the unexpected ways in which the Dobbs decision is disrupting the already fraught experience of pregnancy and birth, causing spikes in maternal and infant mortality, and sepsis and hemorrhage for pregnant women, as physicians withhold or delay medically necessary procedures for fear of being prosecuted. A work of deep reporting and profound humanity, and the winner of the Studs and Ida Terkel Prize, Side Effects also chronicles the experiences of real people experiencing the sudden and dangerous drop-off in all forms of sexual health care, from contraception to STD testing, and the unforeseen spillover effects to medical research, hospital staffing, wait times, access to medications, and more. Even as she sounds the alarm, Ollstein reveals how patients, physicians, researchers, and pharmacists are fighting back, making the case that it's not too late to protect our medical system from the side effects caused by the current existential threat to our health, safety, and privacy.
