Visiting the doctor’s office can be stressful for all of us.  You just never know what kind of news they might give you.  Some people who walking into the doctor’s office can have their blood pressure rise three times its regular number but what doctors want you to do is think about it a little differently.

Feeling vulnerable when you walk into the doctor’s office is usually caused by our own self handing our power over to the doctor.  Most doctors want us to take an active part in our own medical care.  After all, it’s our bodies and we know it best!

Asking questions, trying things that might work better for you or getting a second opinion are all sensible when you are working with a doctor to discover the best solution for your body.  If you don’t participate the doctor is left in a guessing game of what they think might be right for your body.  Help your health professionals out by paying attention and knowing how your body feels and reacts to treatments and then tell the doctor about it.  

Being part of the solution helps you to be a part of the healing process and puts the power of making decisions back into your hands with the assistance of a professional doctor.
