Uncomfy: Sticking with Moments That Challenge Us

Your Doctor Might Be Wrong: What Can You Do? — Dr. Erin Nance


Listen Later

Why do so many patients feel dismissed by their doctors?
In this episode of Uncomfy, orthopedic surgeon, podcast host, and FeelBetr founder Dr. Erin Nance pulls back the curtain on what really happens when doctors get it wrong and why it’s more common than we’d like to believe.
From unconscious bias and misdiagnoses to the fear of admitting mistakes, Dr. Nance shares a rare, insider perspective on the discomfort many doctors face and the harm it can cause. She uncovers uncomfortable truths about the medical system, how patients can advocate for themselves, and why humility might be the most powerful medical tool we have.
