Sometimes, you need a second (or third, or fourth) opinion.
Working in the medical field is absolutely grueling for about a million different reasons.
The folks who have the strength, intelligence, patience, and spirit to do so are straight-up heroes.
Sometimes, you need a second (or third, or fourth) opinion.
That being said, the system is still flawed.
Perhaps you went to the doctor for unexplainable and debilitating stomach pains and cramps.
They told you to take ibuprofen and use a heating pad.
You knew something else was up, so you went to another doctor for a second opinion.
They took your concerns more seriously and decided to run some tests.
Maybe you went to the doctor because you wanted to get your tubes tied at age 33.
You knew you never wanted kids, so you decided to have the procedure done.
You were appalled by their “advice” and stormed out of the building.
Or, perhaps, you decided to see a doctor about your mental health.
You were really struggling with depression and were hoping to discuss medication options.
Instead, your doctor suggested you attend church and read the Bible to “make yourself feel better.”
You were horrified that a medical professional would say such things and promptly found a new doctor.
