SUMMARY:JOIN US FOR AN AFTERNOON TEA & CONVERSATION IN HONOLULU!
DESCRIPTION:You’re Invited: A Candid Conversation About Medical Gaslighting—Understanding the #1 Patient Safety Concern of 2025.  \nLearn more about Dr. Feren \nMedical gaslighting—when patients feel their symptoms are dismissed or not taken seriously—has gained national attention as a serious issue in healthcare. While often unintentional on the part of physicians and other health care professionals\, it arises from systemic pressures like time constraints\, administrative “overload\,” communication breakdowns\, and cognitive biases. \nThis topic has become front and center: ECRI (Emergency Care Research Institute) earlier this year named “dismissed patient\, family\, and caregiver concerns”#1 patient safety concern for 2025 – i.e.\, Medical Gaslighting.  \nJoin us for an eye-opening but balanced presentation that looks at this issue from both sides of the stethoscope—through the lens of patients\, providers\, and the healthcare system as a whole. Whether you’re a healthcare professional (active or retired)\, a patient advocate\, or simply someone interested in the future of care\, this discussion offers valuable insight and practical ideas for creating more respectful\, responsive medical experiences that lead to optimal clinical outcomes.  \nDr. Alan Feren will be giving this presentation on Nov. 19\, at the Outrigger Canoe Club. His bio can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nVENUE \n\n\n\n\n\nOutrigger Canoe Club Beach\nOcean Room\n\n\n2909 Kalakaua Ave\n\n\nHonolulu\, HI 96815\n\n\n  \n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n$35 for non-members\n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS LIMITED TO 100 ATTENDEES.\n\n\nALL ATTENDEES MUST HAVE A TICKET TO ENTER.\n\n\nAmazing Care Network members attend free!
