Why won't doctors just listen to us?

If my doctor had actually LISTENED to me describing my symptoms six months ago, I wouldn't be sitting in this specialist's office finally getting a diagnosis after suffering needlessly. The worst part? Being treated like I was overreacting the entire time. Your symptoms are valid. Your pain is real. And you deserve healthcare providers who believe you. #MedicalGaslighting #PatientAdvocacy #ChronicIllness #BeHeard #TrustYourBody #Health #BodyHealth
