Beatrice Adler-Bolton is an artist, activist and host of the Death Panel podcast based in New York. For years, her doctors couldn’t figure out why she was feeling sick, so they told her she was imagining her symptoms and chalked it up to anxiety and depression. Beatrice is one of many women who struggle with gender bias when it comes to their medical treatment and diagnosis. Beatrice was eventually diagnosed with CRION disease by Dr. Mohammad Fouladvand, the first doctor to take her symptoms seriously, and who has spearheaded the team at NYU leading the fight to save her vision. This is Beatrice's story.
