Bold Conversations Part 2: The roots of medical mistrust among Communities of Color

One of the most universal issues those with primary immunodeficiency face in the U.S. is simply navigating a complicated medical system. Getting a referral to an immunologist can feel absolutely insurmountable, even before the inevitable struggles with prior authorizations and annual reviews from insurance companies for life-changing, or even life-saving, medication.

On this episode of Undiagnosed, Dr. Kelley Hagerich describes the unique shame and difficulty she experiences as a physician with primary immunodeficiency.
