Hey Dr, Can You Stop Gaslighting Me Please?
Listen now
Description
The default patient in medical research has typically been a white, heterosexual man from Pennsylvania. Let’s call him Andrew. So where does that leave everyone else in medicine? There’s increasing evidence of the way women’s symptoms and conditions are downplayed or ignored in healthcare. But move over medical misogyny - medical gaslighting is here not only to borrow therapy speak, but to broaden the even more overlooked populations in healthcare. This includes POC, the poor, people with disability, LGBTQI+ and the elderly. This episode will explore what is needed to address medical gaslighting -- systemically -- but also what individuals can do. The Antoinettes also share their recent experiences of gaslighting, although one Antoinette has been so effectively gaslit, she struggles to remember it happening to her!
