Darcy Gott shares stories of risks involved with having PI as a college student, from mismanaged university health systems to pressure to fit in, and beyond.

One of the most universal issues those with primary immunodeficiency face in the U.S. is simply navigating a complicated medical system. Getting a referral to an immunologist can feel absolutely insurmountable, even before the inevitable struggles with prior authorizations and annual reviews from insurance companies for life-changing, or even life-saving, medication.

On this episode of Undiagnosed, Dr. Kelley Hagerich describes the unique shame and difficulty she experiences as a physician with primary immunodeficiency.
