Why So Many Patients Feel Dismissed by Doctors and What Helps

Health is splitting into two loud camps: “follow the science” or “burn it all down.” And if your symptoms don’t fit the script, you get dismissed—and left to figure it out alone.

In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with orthopedic hand surgeon Dr. Erin Nance (aka “Little Miss Diagnosed”) to go straight to the real problem: trust in doctors, misdiagnosis, and the medical gaslighting that happens when clinicians stop getting curious.

We expose how social media can save you or sabotage you—and how to spot health misinformation without getting misled.

Then Erin tells the story that changes everything: a woman spends 10 years in pain, gets dismissed repeatedly, and Erin solves it in seconds with the right pattern recognition.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, stuck, or lost in the noise, this episode is wildly validating—and it gives you language, strategy, and something medicine forgets to prescribe: hope.
