In February 2023, Ilana’s latest project was acquired by BenBella Books for publication.
Medical Gaslighting: A Guide to Help You Recognize It, Prevent It, and Fight For Your Life is a guidebook that teaches women how to be heard in the exam room, where they are often at a dangerous disadvantage due to medical bias.
Have you ever gone to see your doctor with a concern or symptoms that you wanted answers about? Did your doctor dismiss you, refuse to investigate, or fail to provide adequate answers while insisting your symptoms are all in your head? Medical gaslighting happens to women every day in America and for many: the result is devastating.
A critical diagnosis is missed…
A disease, infection, or cancer is allowed to spread…
Life or limb, vision or hearing can be lost…
A patient can be shamed into dismissing a future emergency…
A patient can die due to lack of intervention or diagnosis…
If this has happened to you, I want to hear your story. Please consider sharing the information below with me for potential inclusion into the book. You can send the following information to IWasNotHeard@gmail.com .
