Body of Proof: A Spoken Word Reckoning on Medical Gaslighting and Survival
from Unspoken · host Kate
In this raw and electrifying spoken word poem, pediatric nurse practitioner and patient advocate Kate Earley delivers a searing indictment of medical gaslighting, institutional betrayal, and the fight to be believed. Body of Proof speaks to every patient who’s ever been dismissed, doubted, or diagnosed with “difficulty” instead of dignity.Written after years of navigating life-threatening hypoglycemia, systemic negligence, and trauma within Canadian healthcare, this poem isn’t a plea—it’s a reckoning.With themes of medical PTSD, systemic power, women’s pain, chronic illness advocacy, and trauma-informed care, this episode is for anyone who’s ever had to bring data just to be heard.Copyright ©2025 Kate EarleyMusic: Naval by Yann Tiersen Written: July 5, 2025
