Maya Dusenbery is author of the book Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick. She recently wrote an article in Cosmopolitan, entitled, "The Science Isn’t Settled on Chronic Lyme' by Rehmeyer and Dusenberry , which discussed CFS/ME and recounted Jennifer Brea's story with CFS/ME.

In this NPR interview, she discusses her new book, out now, which discusses how doctors are prone to attribute diseases which affect primarily women as "imagined," or psychosomatic.
