Have you ever felt dismissed or unheard by your doctor—like your symptoms were “all in your head”?
In this thought-provoking minisode, Dr. Aaron Hartman introduces the concept of medical gaslighting—a term describing when patients’ symptoms are dismissed, minimized, or misattributed by healthcare providers. Drawing from real cases and historical context, Dr. Hartman explores how this phenomenon persists today, particularly among women who are often labeled “anxious” or “overreacting” rather than heard.
He explains why intuition matters, how technology like AI can empower patients to advocate for themselves, and why practitioners must return to the fundamentals of medicine: listening to the patient’s story. The episode is both a wake-up call and an invitation to reclaim agency in your healthcare journey.
