Neurologist Carolyn Larkin Taylor discusses her article, "How medical gaslighting almost cost me my life." Carolyn shares her terrifying personal story of being dismissed by her long-time gynecologist, who labeled her cancer symptoms as "just stress." She details the frustrating journey of seeking a second opinion, the shocking discovery of her malignancy after a results mix-up, and the life-or-death stakes of the diagnostic delay. Carolyn explores the subtle, devastating impact of medical gaslighting, how it erodes a patient's reality (even when the patient is a physician), and why women's health issues are so often misdiagnosed. Learn how trusting your gut can save your life.
