By Crystal Lindell, PNN Columnist There’s a lot of advice out there on how to get a doctor to take you seriously. Most of it is wrong. Lu
This ABSOLUTELY works.
I have used this for many years. Definitely b do it.
This article was super long-winded so I screenshat the important part
the fact we’re responsible for getting doctors to “lower their defenses” in order to literally just do their jobs is ✨INFURIATING✨
Also have seen a tip where you say "My aunt so and so told me she had these symptoms before she was diagnosed with XYZ. It really scared me that hers almost got missed. Could we please exhaustively rule this out? It really messed her up because they caught it so late and I don't want that to happen to me, and hey, it might not be a bad idea to check that stuff anyway."
Ridiculous that we have to do this, but until medicine gets it's shit together we have to wrap what we already know in cheese, like you would pill a dog.
And yeah, bringing someone with you can help a lot, especially adult and traditionally masculine men. Disgusting!
I do this a lot. Like, a lot. The words 'my wife is worried about' are like a secret weapon for me.
