Welcome back to the Oh My Allergies! Podcast. Have you ever felt like the doctor you were seeing or your usual doctor wasn’t listening to you during a visit? Have you ever felt like a doctor dismissed your medical concerns? Well, today we are talking all about it! In today’s episode, Valencia is talking all about medical gaslighting and how to talk to a doctor when they don’t listen to you. We've all experienced telling a doctor about our symptoms whether it was to an allergist or primary care and having them tell us "it's all in our head" or "it's stress induced" or something like that. It's very frustrating, right? We TOTALLY get that! Valencia discusses what is medical gaslighting, some signs that you have been gaslighted by doctors and your healthcare provider, how to be more prepared going into your next doctor’s appointment, and so much more! Tune in to learn more about how to talk to a doctor when they aren’t listening to you, being an informed patient, and how to get the most out of your next doctor’s appointment.
