What is Medical Gaslighting? How to remove it from Society?
Medical gaslighting is a common phenomenon in which a doctor or hospital misleads a patient, especially women, into believing that they are not ill, or that the illness is more psychological than it actually is. It can come in many forms, but usually involves doctors giving misleading information about tests and diagnoses that may lead to mistreatments or delayed diagnosis for months or even years. This causes unnecessary suffering for patients and wastes medical resources, so we need to understand what medical gaslighting is and how we can avoid it happening again in the future.
