And if there's anything we've learned, it is that a complex medical journey is more likely to lead to medical gaslighting. When a patient's symptoms aren't "normal," and they don't "look sick," sometimes the medical community would rather just tell them to get more exercise or lose weight than dig deeper.

Join us as we explore Margo's journey to find answers and shed light on the importance of validating patient experiences.
