In this YouTube short, Dr. Tabatha Barber recounts a virtual patient case that reached her via Facebook. The patient, a woman experiencing seizure‑like episodes, severe pain, and speech disruption, had been evaluated by multiple specialists who repeatedly told her that nothing was wrong and that her symptoms were "in her head." The daughter, frustrated by the ongoing dismissal, asked Dr. Barber for help. Dr. Barber emphasizes the seriousness of the patient’s condition, the harmful impact of dismissive medical opinions, and her intent to share the story to raise awareness about misdiagnosed seizure‑like disorders and the importance of listening to patients.

So her daughter actually reached out to me on Facebook and was like, I need you to help my mom. She keeps going to the doctor. They're telling her that nothing's wrong with her. Everything's in her head. She had been seen by multiple specialists and she was having seizure-like episodes where her body would uncontrollably shake. She had severe pains. She would be like, she literally couldn't can't even get full sentences out. Like, she would be like, when this was happening, and she was told this was in her head. I'm like, okay, this is crazy.
