Title: Medical Gaslighting
(A Behavior in which a physician or other medical professional dismisses or downplays a patient’s physical symptoms or attributes them to something else, such as a psychological condition).

While medical gaslighting has been around since ancient times, it is only in the past few years that it was acknowledged as such and given a name.
