Who are we?
we are the patients
Working together is vital in this mission! Everyone must come together, acknowledge the problem, and work together to solve it.
Hi! I’m Jen Hardy, the host of the Hardy Mom Podcast. I’ve been interviewing patients since 2018 & I’ve heard some astounding tales of gaslighting. The names and details may vary, but the bottom line is the same: patients are being ignored, unheard, and downright mistreated by the profession that has sworn to “First, do no harm.”
As a victim of medical gaslighting and medical assault, Jen wants to help other patients find the safe care they need, and learn how to advocate for themselves to get the best care.
RULE #1 – always bring someone with you
This podcast was started to give these patients a voice. There are several reasons for this; one is to give them power over their own story, and another is so that the greater population can see what is happening. We’re also going to be working with medical providers, and together we can end medical gaslighting.
the Mission
The mission is to educate & inform the public & medical community about the horrors of medical gaslighting. Our hope is that more people will understand what these patients have endured and come forward in support.
* We want to acknowledge the great doctors, nurses, and those in the medical community who truly care for, listen to, and treat us. We thank you, and need to state that these stories are not representative of all medical providers.
These stories are true
Some of the guests will use their real names, and some choose to be anonymous because of the details of their stories, and the fear of retaliation.
We never name doctors or medical staff. Our purpose is not to call out specific individuals, but to call attention to medical gaslighting as a whole and the devastation it does to patients’ lives.
