Thank you for having the courage to publically relate your experience about "gaslighting" in medicine.
I'd only recently come across this "word- term as a phenomenon." Just think how many patients have also been gaslighted? I suspect many. If a patient complains, any many don't, what due process would they endure?
I hope your article is taken seriously and used in medical school to educate others, using experiences like yours, and there would be many, to highlight this problem, a form of bullying. I doubt what you experienced is only "done" to women. I expect men in medicine experience what you've had the courage to talk about.Elizabeth Rankin, BScN
