Why do so many healthcare professionals—nurses, ER doctors, even hospital teams—still miss key facts about food allergies and anaphylaxis? In this episode of EpiPod, Sarah and Danielle sit down with Dr. Maya Gharfeh to explore why gaps in clinical allergy knowledge persist and what’s being done to close them. Sarah shares a personal story about an ER doctor’s surprising misunderstanding of allergic reactions, while Dr. Gharfeh recalls the time she had to advocate for her patient to receive epinephrine inside the hospital itself. Plus, Dr. Gharfeh offers practical tips for patients and families on navigating moments of confusion or conflicting advice during emergencies.
