Dr. Louise Newson

And actually, I'm not the first female doctor to have been tried to be taken down by the establishment.

And I doubt very much I'll be the last.

But, you know, we should be going into medicine to work together.

People can agree to disagree, but we actually fundamentally need to work, look at the science, look at the evidence, share with our patients the knowledge and uncertainty that we have and move forwards.

And actually for my clinic,

the Newsome Clinic to have outstanding in its CQC inspection.

It's just amazing because very few people get outstanding, especially private clinics.

No, not at all.

You know, sadly, we've had to have lawyers involved.

You know, it's taken a big hit on me psychologically.

And, you know, at the time we had to sadly get rid of a lot of doctors because the clinic was, you know, we were going to lose it.

If we lose the clinic, I lose my podcast.

I lose Balance AF.

All the work that I do for free.

There's a huge amount of work I do.

for free but someone has to pay the bills and that comes from the clinic um sadly so because i don't work with pharmaceutical companies i'm not sponsored in any way um so but the bigger picture is is like i say it's not about me and my business it's about the damage to women medicine's got a big hierarchy where it's always the consultants in hospitals think that they know more than gps and

You know, I challenge it.

We've all got academic, clever brains and we can all think differently in medicine.

So it's become very political and health of women always has been, sadly.

It's a really sort of toxic environment and I feel very strongly we should just be learning together.
