Welcome back to the Oh My Allergies! Podcast. Have you ever felt like the doctor you were seeing or your usual doctor wasn’t listening to you during a visit? Have you ever felt like a doctor dismissed your medical concerns? Well, today we are talking all about it! In today’s episode, Valencia is talking all about medical gaslighting and how to talk to a doctor when they don’t listen to you. We've all experienced telling a doctor about our symptoms whether it was to an allergist or primary care and having them tell us "it's all in our head" or "it's stress induced" or something like that. It's very frustrating, right? We TOTALLY get that! Valencia discusses what is medical gaslighting, some signs that you have been gaslighted by doctors and your healthcare provider, how to be more prepared going into your next doctor’s appointment, and so much more! Tune in to learn more about how to talk to a doctor when they aren’t listening to you, being an informed patient, and how to get the most out of your next doctor’s appointment.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
