"The Dr Won't Hear You Now"

Pastel on paper 8" x 11"

Medical gaslighting is a real problem that needs to be stopped. Having an illness or disease is difficult enough without having your health care professionals making you think that it is all in your head. I had a doctor refer me to a psychologist for "depression" when I had undiagnosed severe anemia and subglottic stenosis - my body wasn't getting enough oxygen which was why I was exhausted and not able to function.
