The Hidden Struggle with Medical Trauma
The Hidden Struggle with Medical Trauma
Medical trauma is a deeply personal, often hidden experience that many patients face after receiving care that was harmful or distressing. Whether it stems from medical errors, invasive procedures, miscommunication, or neglect, the effects can be lasting—leading to anxiety, mistrust, and fear of future healthcare. For many, navigating medical trauma means battling both physical and emotional scars, which can lead to avoidance of necessary treatments and prolonged suffering. Healing from this trauma requires a compassionate, patient-centered approach that acknowledges past harm and rebuilds trust.
