Description
You already know that the medical system is broken, but you may not know that you are also trained to play your half of the gaslighting script. To be agreeable. To trust the labs more than your body. To take pride in being “a good patient.”
Here’s the good news: You can unlearn this role. You already have the skills—skills you use every day. at work, at home with your family, and going about your life. You just haven’t been shown how to point them at your health.
Dr. Efrat LaMandre, known as Dr. E, runs a medical practice in New York and hosts The Medical Disruptor podcast, which has reached millions through viral videos. During her wife’s medical journey and her own life-altering diagnosis, she was forced to confront the limits of her own training.
Now, in The Problem with Being a Good Patient, Dr. E will help you walk into every appointment ready for real answers. You’ll learn how to:
- Recognize why medical gaslighting really happens
- End the self-gaslighting that many of us do after the appointment.
- Step out of the “good patient” role you’ve been performing since childhood
- Build a case that gets heard—the right info, in the right order
- Evaluate any practitioner by results, not rapport, and spot “snake oil” solutions from a mile away.
Start using your everyday skills to listen to your body, present your case, and get the answers you deserve.
