What Happens When the Healthcare System Doesn't Believe Women?

from Rupture: The World of BestGuessistan · host Wendy Lurrie

Women are more likely to have their symptoms dismissed, more likely to be diagnosed later, and more likely to be told that pain, fatigue, or serious medical concerns are "all in their head."In this special Rupture roundtable, Wendy brings together three returning guests, Lara Benjamin, Nina, and Fallon Morey, for a candid conversation about gender bias in healthcare.From traumatic brain injury and chronic illness to pregnancy, autism, military medicine, and motherhood, they share the moments when they knew something was wrong, and what happened when the system refused to listen.This is a conversation about healthcare, but it's also a conversation about power, credibility, and what happens when women are forced to become their own advocates just to receive basic care.Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BestGuessistanSubscribe to our Substack: https://bestguessistan.substack.com/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestguessistan/Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestguessistan/
