Thank you again for the mention. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s a cautionary tale for all of us. I wish you were believed the first time you mentioned something abnormal about your own body.
Thank you for including my article in your beautifully curated magazine.
I am so sorry for your miscarriage experience and the medical gaslighting you received. It just made my blood boil. I really wish that more physicians practiced the way Dr. Zed Zha does.
I'm so glad to hear that you switched to a much better doctor. I know, it's really sad how common medical gaslighting is. We have to be our own advocate and be super alert.
Yes! I’m lucky to have a few family members and friends in the medical field, who have taught me how to do that. It’s scary. It also goes against my nature, since I’m not someone who’s loud or pushy, but unfortunately that is necessary.
Thank you for reading, for sharing and for validating some of my thoughts on friendship, Tiffany. Looking forward to spending time with the other curated reads this week ❤️
Thank you for the mention Tiffany!

Thanks for doing what you do, Zed. I have a MUCH better PCP now.

Thanks, Louisa. I really enjoyed your article!
I switched practitioners right after that experience, and my current doctor is way, way better. It's sad how common this is, though.
Thank you for reading! I appreciate you!

Very fortunate. I'm glad for you! It's sad that we have to mutter so much courage and energy to deal with medical gaslighting.
Wow, thanks so much for the feature, Tiffany! Means a lot to me.
