So often I hear someone say, "I wanted to do this, but my Doctor said this..."
While I think it is great for people to get a Doctor's opinion or a diagnosis, they shouldn't rely on their Doctors like Gods. If you don't like the way your Doctor is talking to you or treating you, always get a second opinion.
You should make sure that your doctor is communicating with you and you don't feel rushed when they are in the room. If you have questions, you should feel comfortable asking them. Make sure you talk to them about your different options. There is always more than one.
You know your body better than anyone including doctors. If you think you want to be tested for something it is important that you push this onto your doctor so you can stat to rule things out. If you have had a certain illness before, ask to be tested for those first if you show similar symptoms as you have before.
It's important to understand that YOU have access to the same information that someone with a PHD.. It's all about the research! Doctors can be bullies. Stand up for yourself and your medical rights.
