Well worth reading this article, especially if you've experienced medical gaslighting, minimizing, dismissal, or abuse. And if you haven't, still worth reading -- the chronic illness and disability communities are two that any person can join at any time, without warning.

That quote about the gap between "I don't see it" and "it isn't there" is absolutely essential reading. So many patients' suffering is compounded by the fact that their bodies don't fit the diagnostic boxes doctors expect. Building tools and systems that validate patient expertise about their own bodies is core to what we're working on at CareClinic. Every person deserves to be heard.
