    Medical Trauma

    Sometimes health problems can be traumatic, but unfortunate events while undergoing treatment, like a failed surgery or meeting Doctors that mistreat you, can also cause trauma.

Yet, how can we deal with these kinds of experiences? In this episode of the Health Mastery with Anna Podcast, Anna explains what medical trauma is and its impact on patients.
