"Don't Read the Textbook?" How to Find a Doctor Who Really Listens (Complex Immune Conditions)

Have you ever felt like your body didn't get the memo about how it's "supposed" to be sick? Have you ever felt dismissed by a doctor because your symptoms don't "read the textbook"? In this video, Dr. Kara Wada, a board-certified allergist and immunologist who also lives with Sjögren's disease, explores the challenges of diagnosing and treating complex immune conditions that defy easy categorization. She shares her perspective on going "beyond the textbook" in medicine, emphasizing the importance of deep listening, relentless clinical investigation, and genuine partnership with patients. Dr. Kara discusses: Why "medically interesting" is NOT what you want to be - and what happens when you are How feeling dismissed leads patients to seek costly (and sometimes harmful) alternatives The four pillars of going beyond textbook medicine: deep listening, clinical detective work, genuine partnership, and creating a sanctuary for care Why 50-110 minute appointments matter when symptoms are complex How conditions like mast cell activation, dysautonomia, and seronegative Sjögren's demand deeper investigation The art and science of medicine working together Plus, Dr. Kara announces the return of the Virtual Sjögren's Summit (4th year!) and shares resources for support and connection.
