A short YouTube video ("Question of the day") by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter that asks viewers about experiences where healthcare providers dismissed their symptoms (e.g., saying "it's all in your head," minimizing pain, or calling patients dramatic). The speaker highlights that this happens more often to women and frames listening to patients as a central part of the Pinnacle method, aiming to take symptoms seriously and help patients reach "the peak of wellness."

Question of the day. When was the last time that you were told by a provider, whether it's a physician, a PA Or a nurse practitioner, that it was all in your head, or that they dismissed your symptoms, or that they said it's not that bad, or you're over exaggerating your pain, or you're being a little dramatic, aren't you? I want to hear from you guys because I think this is an important thing that happens not just to women, even to men, but more often to women. Our symptoms are not taken seriously. So we need to talk about this here at Pinnacle. Part of the Pinnacle method is actually listening to our patients. So I want to learn from you guys how to make sure that I'm listening. To take your symptoms seriously to get you to the peak of wellness.
