How to Be More Aware of Your Health
You have a mind of your own. Doctors can’t know everything. Perhaps some people trust doctors a little too much. They expect miracles and then blame the doctors when things turn out to be less than what they imagined. That’s not fair to you or the doctor.
So here are a few simple things to keep in mind when you are dealing with medical issues:
Listen to your body
It’s always sending you signals. If it doesn’t “feel right” then it’s time to re-evaluate your options.
Get a third and fourth opinion on major a major diagnosis
For example, your doctor tells you that you have cancer. Confirm with another physician.
Research your medical situation
The internet is packed with information. Go to discussion groups about your medical issue. Go to websites. Print out journals. Dig Deep. Why be in the dark about what’s happening with your body? This is your life!
