  • Summary

  • On this episode of the Sacred Nurse Revolution, Jenn talks about Medical Gaslighting and its impact on patient care.

    Jenn discusses medical gaslighting, where healthcare providers manipulate patients' perceptions of their conditions, leading to feelings of distrust and betrayal.

    She shares personal experiences of gender bias and medical gaslighting in the healthcare system, including the lack of pain medication provided to female patients and the dismissal of women's symptoms as 'in their head.'

    She emphasizes the importance of advocating for oneself, seeking second opinions, and keeping a log of symptoms to help doctors identify potential causes.

    This episode highlights the need for patients to take an active role in their healthcare and to keep asking questions to ensure continuity of care.

    Some actionable items:

    • Keep a log of symptoms, medications, activities, foods, etc. to share with doctors.
    • Ask questions and don't be afraid to get second opinions or find new doctors if needed.
    • Continue advocating for yourself when receiving healthcare.
