Aaron (he/him) shares his experience as both patient and physician. He describes feeling unheard as a patient with chronic pain. Then, as a doctor, how the healthcare system expects patients to navigate increasingly complex information often without adequate support. Aaron talks about the disconnect between what patients need and what the system provides. He explains how this led him to found HealthEd 4 Everyone, a nonprofit creating free, accessible health education resources.
