Twilah Hiari — Short Bio

Illness and the Analytical Mind: Twilah Hiari is a recovering patient with a B.A. in Philosophy. She explores how the siloed nature of Western medicine contributes to misdiagnosis, and how clinician biases regarding issues of gender, race, class, education, religion and disability promote a culture that dismisses the credibility of the patient’s perspective. She blogs about her experiences at http://www.athinkingpatient.com.
