1/🧵What is Testimonial Injustice in medicine? It’s Silencing pts…
@crageshri tells her story & it’s brave & important. In #COVID, I have silenced pts by giving too much sedation to ventilated pts. I was wrong.
At every opportunity, I must amplify my pts’ voices!

3/ It’s a type of silencing called “testimonial smothering”. This is a form of self-censoring, where silence or withholding testimony is preferable to the psychological trauma of being dismissed and disbelieved.
4/ A way of responding to such a disclosure is by saying, “I believe you”. If we’re more ready to say this in every area of health care, along w “I hear you”, we may begin to hear our patients’ true testimonies, a crucial step to healing.
Thx @crageshri. I’ll try to do my part.

There is a lot of testimonial injustice in #Covid. Especially in disbelieving and dismissing our #LongCovid patients. They should NOT have to prove they have an illness. Again, we should start by saying, “I see you. I believe you.”
