Have you ever experienced medical gaslighting? I want to hear your story. Medical gaslighting happens when a doctor dismisses, downplays or invalidates your health concerns. They may say your symptoms are "all in your head" or "just stress." Sadly, this happens all too often and the impacts can be devastating - delayed diagnoses, prolonged suffering, trauma and self-doubt. If you have experienced medical gaslighting, please share your story below. Let's break the culture of silence and support each other. You deserve to be heard. Your pain is real. I would love to know: What symptoms were dismissed? How did it make you feel? Did you get a second opinion or find a more supportive doctor? What would you tell others who have been gaslit by the medical system? By sharing our stories, we can educate others, advocate for change, and make sure no one else feels alone in this struggle. Our voices are powerful. https://lnkd.in/gDnKJTkk or link in bio! • • • • • #drpingel #redefineyourhealth #naturopathicmedicine #naturopath #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #naturalwellness #healthandwellness #bewell #healthiswealth #wellnessjourney #healthtips #gaslighting #gaslightingawareness #gaslightingisabuse #medicalgaslighting #patientcare #consult #consultation #consultations #medicalcare #doctorpatient #minmize #minimizing #propercare #treatments #treatment #gooddoctor #healthprofessionals #doctorcare

This is what I do best... People are not constellations of symptoms. As a doctor, in order to truly understand why someone is coming to see you, it's vital to explore that person's #life in greater context. Very few medical symptoms occur in isolation from other #psychological and #social factors. Newly qualified doctors often ask direct questions along the patients symptoms groups (do you have nausea with the headache?) but may miss out on the real factors underlying a patients troubles. An experienced doctor reduces their reliance on these direct closed questions and feels more comfortable allowing the patient's narrative to lead the way... Often with truly remarkable results... #holistic #experience #medicine #gp
