MOUTH MAGAZINE
Mouth was known for laying it on the line. This cartoon brings to light the way ableism is practiced in the medical profession. How many times have you gone to the doctor and had your symptoms dismissed, minimized or even ignored?This could be caused by a number of factors: bias and negative impressions about disability, lack of knowledge and training,
time constraints, communication barriers, and systemic barriers. This kind of treatment has been called Medical Gaslighting. You MUST be your own patient advocate!
