In this episode, RuthAnn picks up where the previous conversation left off, reflecting on the dehumanizing treatment Lance received from some residents and medical professionals — treatment that often made him feel more like a science experiment than a person. She shares a couple of powerful stories from Lance’s experiences in the hospital and clinic that highlight the emotional toll of being overlooked in the healthcare system. Jenna, coming from a background of limited medical experience, offers her perspective and asks important questions about what people can do when they feel their concerns are being dismissed. RuthAnn emphasizes the importance of trusting your instincts and shines a light on the often-overlooked challenges faced by caregivers — especially the pressure to stay quiet and comply, even when advocating for their loved ones.
