A quote from the article linked in the post: "Patients live in their bodies 24/7. We see them for 15 minutes. Patients are, therefore, the experts in their own bodies. They notice micro-changes no exam, no medical degree, no microscope can catch. Clinicians are trained to rule in diseases and rule out disasters, but we are not trained to rule over bodily decisions. When we are blinded by our own certainty, aided by power imbalance, our refusal to believe patients becomes the only splinter in healing. And medical gaslighting doesn’t start with bad intentions or cruelty. It starts in the tiny but dangerous gap between 'I don’t see it' and 'it isn’t there.'" - Zed Zha, MD (she/her)
