The past few years I almost thought it was getting better, but then these things keep happening…

Thank you. Women/girls/AFAB are routinely dismissed when severely ill. We need every healthcare professional to acknowledge that injustice, and the longstanding culture (in medicine & society in general) that allows it to continue unchecked.

When I say #MedicalGaslightingKills (mostly women) I truly mean it. What are we supposed to do??? I’ve had so many medical catastrophes now that have gone undocumented and have just had me labelled [insert gaslighting] that my file also adds to my inability to get care now. It’s a trap.

Have you seen this survey about #MedicalGaslighting in Canadian health care? Someone shared it in an FB group. https://uwindsor.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8czBwERcpOMrrnw?fbclid=IwY2xjawGjClNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRgPoANpWgQT8V6TWm7lQ4-ZeETtHMap_CHzKZ_gm2zKrEkT3srldN_YxA_aem_hTJhCQjJ9VfXOWk5aorvQw

This happened to my hairdresser. A young beautiful healthy 24 yr old until excruciating abdominal pain. For a yr local hosp accused her of wanting pain meds. At lge city hosp bld work showed minutes away from liver failure. It was cancer. She survived but suffered terribly for over a year. Why ?
