Like warriors, many women tenaciously fight to get loved ones the healthcare they need. Why, then, do we not advocate as fervently for ourselves?
In interviews with health care professionals, I learned that patients often wait until the end of a visit to raise their concerns or reveal relevant details. The average length of a primary care visit in the United States is approximately. That doesn't leave you much time; get right to the point. Begin the visit with a full description of your symptoms, and continue raising them and asking questions until you are satisfied that your health care provider is taking your concerns seriously.
If you've voiced your concerns and still don't feel heard, it may be time to switch health care providers. Choose a new one based in part on how you feel when you're communicating with them. You might be able to interview them, though not all clinicians will agree to that. If not, use an initial visit to gauge how comfortable you feel with them and keep looking if it doesn't feel right. Recognize your feelings as a valid selection criteria.
When it comes to your own health concerns, you are the mom, the child, or the best friend to those people who care about you. Don't you owe it to them to follow your own advice?
