Episode Details

Medical gaslighting occurs when doctors dismiss patients symptoms, leading to missed diagnoses and delayed care. This issue disproportionately affects women, people of color, and trans individuals due to biases in medical research. Researcher Karen Spencer shares patient stories of being dismissed and offers advice on how to advocate for oneself, including coming prepared, bringing a support person, and switching providers if needed. Spencers upcoming book focuses on end-of-life care.
