You Have A Mind Of Y our Own

.....and so does your body. Doctors don't know everything, but all too often I see people trusting doctors a litte 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.

1. Listen to your body. It's always sending you signals. Are you listening?

2. Get a third and fourth opinion on major a major diagnosis. (For example the doctor tells you that you have cancer)

3. Research your medical situation. The Internet is SLAM 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 we're talking about here!

4. Ask your doctor questions. If he or she is worth anything, he or she will be happy to answer your questions and give you ways to find out more information.

If your doc gets offended or displays a negative reaction towards you - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! Find another doctor!

5. I've got to say this is again - LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! If it doesn't "feel right" then it's time you re-evaluate your options. Plain & Simple.

Till next time
