Episode Synopsis
Have you ever been in A&E with your child/young person and feel like the doctors just aren’t hearing you, when you say you KNOW something isn’t right? Are things you are pointing out being put down to their pre existing diagnosis?
We talk to Liz Herrievan – Consultant in Paediatric Emergency medicine. Liz talks about her professional journey as a doctor alongside her personal journey with her daughter Amy who has Down syndrome and autism. We discuss how it lead to her special interest in inequalities in healthcare, her famous infographic on Diagnostic Overshadowing and how you can use it to help you in medical appointments.
