We trust our doctors with our lives. But women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, geriatric patients and heavier patients are more likely to encounter medical professionals who dismiss their concerns or question their pain. We talk to an expert on patient-provider relationships about how we can better advocate for ourselves at the doctor’s office as the experts on our own bodies.
