The doctor brushed me off, reluctantly ordered a CT scan, and sent me home ‘all clear.’ Hours later, the hospital called: I had appendicitis. In this episode, I share the raw story of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and nearly ignored, only to discover a tumor growing in my appendix. This isn’t just...
