The Quicky

How often are women's health conditions misdiagnosed? Well, it turns out, quite often.  The medical system all over the world has been, and remains, led by men, for men, using men as the yardstick for conditions and the medicines to treat them.  That means women are at risk of adverse reactions to medications, different outcomes to surgery and treatment and misdiagnosis all due to gender bias. In this episode of The Quicky we look at how we deal with a system that's supposed to help us and heal us, when it may not even really know what's going on with us in the first place.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

It's the case that's been unpacked on Netflix's new docuseries, Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal. A story with five people dead under unusual or suspicious circumstances all seemingly connected to one very powerful and influential family, the Murdaugh's.  Last week, Alex Murdaugh, the prime suspect for two of the five deaths, was convicted of murdering his wife and son.  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Michael DeWitt, a local reporter who has been covering the case since the very beginning, to answer some of the questions left behind after the verdict.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Over the weekend Prince Harry was back doing yet another interview. This time with Dr Gabor Maté, an expert in trauma and childhood development who diagnosed him with a disorder on a live stream. But how can someone he's only met twice throw out a diagnosis without properly assessing him? What implications are there for those watching, and for Harry himself? What do we need to know before we're too quick to self-diagnose?  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the dangers of Prince Harry's latest interview and what it's really like to get a diagnosis of ADHD.

Australia's rental market is less affordable than ever, with low vacancy rates and rising rent levels contributing to a housing crisis. With converted sheds, divided room spaces, tents and caravans all being explored as options, one group of renters are actually becoming home owners on a much, much smaller scale.  Today we meet someone who lives in a tiny home - and look at whether it really is the answer to our growing housing problems.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
