Study Exposes Medical Gaslighting of Women
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
More than 25 million American women are suffering at the hands of a healthcare and insurance system that routinely denies them the benefits they've paid for and rightly deserve—often dismissing their concerns and gaslighting them instead. Whether driven by ignorance or outright greed, this highly abusive mistreatment has gone on long enough and can no longer be tolerated.
A new meta-analysis of 151 studies reviewed 11,307 patient cases and uncovered a troubling pattern: when physicians lacked experience diagnosing certain conditions, they frequently responded by dismissing patients' concerns. Instead of investigating further, many defaulted to implying to the patients or their family that the person was crazy. Instead of honestly saying, "I’m sorry, I don't know what's causing your issue," and referring the patient to a specialist. This was especially the case in immune illnesses that affect predominantly women.

Adelson's Checker-Shadow Illusion
Would you believe that squares A and B in the above image are the exact same color? As incredible as it may seem, they are identical. Below is the same image with everything but those squares removed. Now it's apparent that they are the exact same color.
What's going on? Your brain sees that the green cylinder is casting a shadow over square B, and it knows that a shadow makes an object appear darker than it really is. So it interprets square B to be a lighter color than it sees. But the graphic is cleverly designed so that the shadow does not actually overlay square B. So your brain shouldn't make this internal color adjustment. And even though this is now explained to you, you simple can't force your mind to not do the adjustment. It's your brain's story, and it's sticking to it :-)
This famous illusion was created in 1995 by Edward H. Adelson, a professor of vision science at MIT.
