Why Won’t My Doctor Listen To Me? with Dr. Heather Irobunda

Have you ever felt ignored or dismissed by a medical professional? This week on Sorry For Apologizing, host Missy Modell sits down with Dr. Heather Irobunda, an NYC-based Board-Certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Founding Member of OBs For Reproductive Justice, and Medical Director at We Are Robyn. In this episode, Missy and Dr. Irobunda discuss how the absence of women from clinical trials until the early 90s created the ‘Gender Pain Gap,’ the truth about medical gaslighting, why some doctors still believe that Black women have less sensitive nerve endings than white women, why Sex Ed in the U.S. is broken, and more.
