Melinda French Gates

I'm curious what you're hearing from your friends or other women that are touching the system.

What have their experiences been recently?

I mean, can you imagine if you went into the system today and you're pregnant and you had to tell your doctor how you wanted to deliver your baby?

No.

Right?

That's such a good analogy.

We rely on the medical doctors to tell us.

So again, I think they also want the right and credible information, right?

And so it's just time.

Yes.

Yes.

And I'm with you.

I think the medical professionals and doctors, look, they do heroic work.

They are the ones on the front lines taking care of us.

And again, I sometimes ask myself who's caring for them on the back end, especially when we have like a childcare crisis, which we do in this country.

But by and large, I've also, at least the doctors I've seen, they want to have continuous learning.

So let's just make sure that we add this to their learning.

Yes, because we know the right care at the right time for a woman makes a huge difference.

Like, let's say you can catch her right when she's starting into those hot flashes at night and that insomnia.

If you can catch her then so she doesn't get into chronic insomnia, which can often lead to depression, you change her trajectory.
