Listen "Case Study: Distrust & Women's Pain"
Episode Synopsis
Why are women’s reports of pain so often dismissed?As it turns out, it’s not just oversight—it’s a failure of trust. In this case study mini-episode, we're looking at distrust in real-time—examining how bias in medicine isn’t just about misunderstanding symptoms, but about who gets believed and who doesn’t. Building on our full episode on Trust and our mini-episode on Hatred, Laine dives into research from Harvard Health and neuroscience studies to uncover the real cost of medical distrust—especially for women and women of color.If you have any topic suggestions for future episodes, don't hesitate to reach out!
