The Parent Preference Dilemma
Manage episode 450936510 series 3614756
In this episode of the Life Sucks, Let's Talk About It podcast, Greg and Amanda, dive into a tricky issue many parents face in the healthcare system: What happens when a doctor seems to prefer speaking to one parent over the other? Whether it’s due to gender, personality, or unconscious bias, some parents find themselves in situations where their child’s doctor directs most of their communication to just one parent—often leaving the other feeling sidelined, unheard, or even dismissed.
We unpack the dynamics that lead to these situations and what parents can do when they feel like they’re not being given equal attention in the decision-making process. Can doctors’ preferences be justified, or does it point to deeper issues in healthcare? We also discuss how to address this with your doctor to ensure both parents are involved and respected in the care of their child.
