When your blood tests come back normal and your doctor sends you on your way, that's not a diagnosis – that's a dismissal. In this episode, I follow Priya, a self-employed autistic woman in her late 30s whose 18 months of worsening fatigue, hair loss, skin changes, and irregular periods have been met with advice to exercise more and download a mindfulness app.
I walk you through why "normal bloods" and "everything's fine" are not the same thing, which conditions are routinely missed in fat patients, and what it actually looks like when a doctor does their job properly.
Because basic care isn't heroics. It's just medicine.
