What happens when people's lived experience with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is dismissed in medicine? And how can it become a vital form of knowledge?

In this episode, Aaron Goodman speaks with Megan Moodie, a medical anthropologist and disability studies scholar at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her work explores patient activism and how knowledge is produced in medicine. Megan also brings lived experience to this conversation, including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and chemical sensitivities.

You'll hear Aaron and Megan discuss:

•  Why people with MCS are often dismissed or psychologized in clinical settings.
•  How lived experience becomes meaningful knowledge in medicine. 
•  What more equitable collaboration between researchers and affected communities could look like.
• And more!
