At 29, Sarah Carthen Watson was only days away from her wedding when she experienced chest pain. Her visit to the ER became a stark example of medical gaslighting, where health care professionals appeared to dismiss or overlook her concerns. Medical gaslighting not only erodes trust but also risks missing diagnoses and delaying treatment.
Key Takeaways
- Lean on family and friends for advocacy support.
- Be specific about the diagnosis you're most concerned about. Ask: "Has every (reasonable) test been done to make sure I don't have ________?"
- If a healthcare professional refuses to do any tests, labs, or x-rays, demand that they document your request and their denial in the electronic health record.
