Kimether Redmon shares powerful strategies for setting the tone of respect with healthcare providers and knowing when to walk away from medical gaslighting.

• Come prepared with a one-page symptom summary, tracking information, and imaging reports to guide the conversation
• Ask providers to explain what led to their diagnosis and what their differential diagnoses are
• Remember that proper diagnostic process requires listening to patient history, physical exam, and multiple possible diagnoses
• When faced with dismissal, calmly state you're looking for a provider who will partner with you
• Don't hesitate to ask for your co-pay back if a provider refuses to engage respectfully
