The medical establishment hasn't always listened to patients; nurturing this vital skill can help to tackle health inequalities, says Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan BMJ Student bmj.com/content/390/bm…

Excellent piece. I doubt there are many women (prob men too) who wouldn’t recognise this culture of dismissal, disbelief and gaslighting in h/c. Listening, and HEARING, makes for better diagnosis and treatment, more satisfied patients - and potentially less legal liability….

“Medical silencing is when clinicians ignore or dismiss what patients say is happening. ⁦Trisha Greenhalgh⁩ reviews ⁦Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan⁩’s book Unheard published by ⁦Hachette UK⁩ bjgp.org/content/74/744…

UNHEARD: THE MEDICAL PRACTICE OF SILENCING by Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan is out today in paperback with Trapeze Books! Offering a way to reshape our health system for a future where active and engaged listening is the new frontier in a timely, shocking and engaging exposé of the medical world.

🗣 true — truly listening to patients isn’t just compassionate care, it’s essential for equity. Lived experiences provide insights that data alone can miss. Empowering this dialogue can bridge systemic gaps. Thank you Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan BMJ Student for spotlighting this. #HealthEquity

"Most drs go into medicine to make people better; not being able to do this can make us uncomfortable & lead us to shut down conversations. Instead, we should recognise that bearing witness to suffering & making patients feel heard is in itself a therapeutic intervention"

⚠️ 1.3 million people acquired HIV in 2024 alone, including thousands of adolescent girls and young women. Today, in a landmark move towards HIV prevention, WHO recommends twice-yearly injectable lenacapavir as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to protect people at risk of HIV.

“If your words have no power, it is almost worse to speak them than not, to see them fail than not” Rebecca Solnit This so clearly describes the phenomenon of ‘testimonial smothering’ (Kristie Dotson) which I think contributes to medical silencing at many levels.
