Writing Homework Help

I’m studying for my Philosophy class and need an explanation.

Many patients report experiences of epistemic injustice in health care, with their reports of pain or descriptions of symptoms being denied or dismissed. To combat this problem, clinical bioethicists emphasize the important of the physician-patient relationship, arguing that a focus on respect, clear communication, and shared decision-making are ways to promote epistemic justice for patients.

Step 1: Your Initial Post – Describe an encounter between a patient and a health care provider in which you believe epistemic injustice occurred. Many of you probably have a story of your own, or from someone you know, but there are plenty of cases that made the news, as well. Identify what aspects of the encounter were epistemically unjust. Be as clear and detailed in your moral reasoning as you can.
