Re: Dealing with medical professionals?

[(Anonymous)]

OP here

Wooooooah, that seems very harsh, but absolutely spot on. I have literally heard from my neurologist that I'm healthy, and I should exercise more and sleep better. (Granted, I hadn't told him that I've had organic brain damage since birth, so that was absolutely on me.)

But dude, thank you. This is an entirely different perspective than I had been operating from, where I had assumed that since it was their social obligation to help the sick, they were duty bound to fulfill it. NOPE never mind, that was fucking naive of me.

And thank you for mentioning asking questions, because I always seem to freeze up and feel discouraged from asking questions, because their specialized knowledge means they OF COURSE know better.

I have been making lists, so I'll continue to do that.

OP again

Several reasons, primary among which was that upon my first visit, I hadn't realized it was something that would have played a factor in producing seizures. (Related to this, my adoptive parents had not told me the severity of the extent of my brain damage until I told them about my adult seizures. Apparently I had had seizures as an infant, but they were never disclosed to a health professional. Trust me, on my second visit, I told them everything I learned since my first visit.)

Second, and what kept me from going back for more prompt treatment, was that I was in the middle of a job interviewing process, the job being one that excluded people with seizure disorders. Once I was resigned to the fact that the disorder wasn't going to resolve itself spontaneously, I gave up and went to a doctor. Sounds stupid, I know.

I honestly don't know if solticisekf was trolling you or being super cynical, but please take their advice with a huge grain of salt. I have friends and family who are in the medical profession and no, they're not heartless bastards who just want to get rid of their pesky patients. Yes, it's a tough, demanding job and some people are jerks about it, but it's not like the whole industry is out to get you. Go into treatment with that attitude, and it'll be a major obstacle toward your health.

I resent the implication that my attitude stands in the way of my health. Also, what makes you an expeet in this? I had great results with this approach VS what I did before. It worked for me personally.

Are you saying that patients don't need to ask for a second opinion if they have doubts about their doctor?

What are you saying? What is the right attitude here?
