Hello Everyone! I am Ben Gonzalez, father, husband, veteran, physician, educator, pilot, and Medical Feminist.

I have written articles and chapters on multiple subjects in medicine. I began my current project six years ago, writing about gender bias in the health care system based on 20 years of lectures given to physicians on the subject and 35 years of watching the health care system fail women. Fave part of writing?....Putting 35 years of experience into an "itty bitty" book, hoping to change the lives of as many women as possible, and affecting a change in the health care system. Fun fact: I began writing my current book for physicians 6 years ago. However, 3 years ago, I realized I was writing to the wrong audience. The subject needs to be brought to the general public, to women, and to all those who care about women. My initial manuscript is complete, and I hope to use Spines to maximize exposure and reach a larger audience for this important topic. @bengonzalez_md
