About this listen

This is a "Your Stories" series episode with two individuals sharing their experiences with this months topic, medical gaslighting. The first is Angela,  a mother in her 40's who caught Covid in the first wave who struggled to find doctors to take her seriously but pushed  herself even while ill,  by advocating for better care.
The second is Brad, a man who contracted the delta variant and has developed dysautonomia. Brad was the first in his family to graduate college and was pursuing a career in the medical field before he became ill.

Both are briefly interviewed by Dave, another Longhauler who asked each person a set of the same questions to help illustrate their experiences and highlight the impact it has had. 

Questions in the interview are :

Can you share an example of medical gaslighting you have experienced?
How has it changed your perspective on healthcare and medicine?
Has there been anything positive to come out of your experiences? 
What would be your advice to anyone going through something similar?
What thoughts would you like to share with the medical community that you think they need to hear?
