What To Do If Your Doctor Gaslights You | Dr. Bayo
"her answer was like, "You just you I've never you did not look like what I felt like was someone in pain." And I said, "So my follow-up question, what does that look like?" And her answer was, "Not you.""
Dr Bayo Curry says she later confronted the nurse who had reassured her during a postpartum emergency, asking why her concerns were dismissed. Curry says the nurse told her she did not look like someone in pain, and could not articulate what pain should look like beyond saying it was “not” Curry. Curry presents the exchange as an example of how clinicians’ assumptions about pain presentation can affect care.
