Our healthcare system is broken. But it doesn't have to break you.
This practical, realistic guide is designed to help women fight medical bias and neglect in order to get the care they need-and deserve.
For women, the possibility of experiencing medical gaslighting-having a health care provider dismiss or ignore their concerns without considering appropriate testing or creating a treatment plan-has always been a very real and present danger, with consequences ranging from self-doubt and emotional stress to delayed diagnosis and death. And being a woman of color, transgender, or disabled only compounds the risk.
Today, more women are aware of medical gaslighting than ever-but awareness isn't enough. In Medical Gaslighting, you'll equip yourself with the tools you need to be fully heard at every step of the process, including-
- Mastering the ability to request, revise, and read your electronic medical records so you and your medical team are on the same page.
- Responding effectively when you recognize the signs, language, and scenarios associated with medical gaslighting
- Give yourself a fighting chance against common medical bias by being mindful of how you present yourself as a patient.
With expert advice and stories from women across the medical spectrum who fought medical gaslighting and lived to tell their stories, patient advocate (and rare disease patient), Ilana Jacqueline provides a combat guide for increasing your confidence-and success-when advocating for your health.
You might have to get naked in the exam room, but you don't have to walk in unarmed. Medical Gaslighting is your guide to taking control of your healthcare.
