In this episode of The Ask Dr. V Show, she interviews guests about their first-hand accounts of medical discrimination and how they advocated for themselves, literally saving their lives.

Dr. V explores the real-world impacts of medical discrimination—from undertreated pain in Black patients to dismissed symptoms in women, weight stigma, ageism, and barriers facing LGBTQ+ and non-English speaking patients. Learn about medical gaslighting, understand your rights as a patient, and hear what needs to change to ensure everyone receives respectful, evidence-based care. Plus, get updates on healthcare policy fights and measles outbreaks affecting students nationwide.
