Hi Everyone šŸ‘‹ I’m checking in from the NE coast of MA🌊 It’s strange to say that I am excited about the topic of ā€œmedical gaslightingā€ but I think that it needs to be discussed and addressed as it happens far too often! Dr Mary Ann Wilmarth #creakychats CreakyJoints.org

So trueā€¼ļø It’s not unusual to wait 3-6 months for specialty doctor appointments! šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø As a person with #chronicillnesses this can be very problematic even with lots of planning. We need to work together to help solve #healthcare crisis in this country. Dr Mary Ann Wilmarth CreakyJoints.org
