I am working with a young mom on the west coast with a clear progression of symptoms that looks like EDS associated with a childbirth injury due to an errant epidural. Throughout, her male physicians have gaslighted her, attributing tangible symptoms to psychiatric illness.
Rather than letting the data inform a diagnostic process, their theory is to deny, deflect the tangible persistent symptoms that are interrupting her daily life.
This is physician failure to adopt an appropriate diagnostic model, not patient failure.
Siloed care fails complexity.

Complex comorbidies are FAILED by siloes of care.
Acute care relies on approaches that tackle simple problems.
Complex comorbidities require 3D, integrated approaches to tackle what amounts to wicked problems.

HEDS, Bell's Palsy, CSF leak, gastroparesis, saddle anesthesia, cauda equina, POTS, bowel/bladder incontinence, persistent pain. While distressing, these symptoms do NOT originate in psychiatric illness.
