In this clip from The Independent’s Well Enough podcast with Emilie Lavinia, NHS surgeon and social media star Dr Karan Rajan speaks about how important it is for women to stand their ground when reporting health issues to their doctor.
“Historically, women have been socialized to downplay pain,” Dr Karan explains. “They’re expected to accept vague reassurance and delay care. It’s a perfect storm to being mistreated and misdiagnosed.”
