PILOT: A Touch of Hysteria

In this special pilot episode of A Touch of Hysteria, a series about women navigating the healthcare system, storyteller Ann Kane connects us with a powerful cautionary tale about what happens when one women’s heart symptoms are dismissed, her concerns ignored. It’s a story of discrimination, terror, and ultimately, resilience.

Ann also interviews a leading cardiologist who unpacks the built-in bias in the medical system, and examines the extent of what we know, what we don’t, and what we’re just now figuring out about women’s bodies, so that we can finally see past the stigma of hysteria.
