Dr. Bernadine Healy was a pioneer in the field of women’s health. She understood that women’s fluctuating hormones don’t make our bodies disruptive to clinical medical studies. Rather, our biological differences make us even more important to study if the health of women is important. And Dr. Healy believed it was.
Rest in peace, Dr. Healy. And thank you. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/09/us/09healy.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hpw.
