Have you ever left a medical appointment wondering if you were overreacting — or if you should have pushed harder?
Luan’s joined by award-winning journalist and Sydney Morning Herald Health Editor Kate Aubusson to unpack what medical misogyny can actually look like: pain being minimised, symptoms dismissed, diagnoses delayed or missed, and women beginning to doubt what their own bodies are telling them.
Kate also shares what her investigation uncovered about women who kept asking for help and still weren’t heard — and why the answer can’t simply be telling women to advocate harder.
A note before you listen: Some conversations on Regarding Me include experiences of illness, treatment, mental health, grief and other sensitive topics. Please take care when listening. 💙
