Advocating for Your Health Condition! You Deserve Fair and Great Treatment!

Peace, love and light everyone, I hope all is well. I wrote a blog about bad bedside manner and how I’ve experienced doctor’s not being good listeners, misdiagnosing me, lack of compassion and other stuff. I decided to put a video together in honor of Ovarian Cancer and GYN Cancer Awareness month, but this video pertains to anyone with any sort of health condition (I have Chronic Lyme) and even if you have pristine health and getting your annual checkups, you still deserve the very best care.
.

For those who haven’t heard of this term “bad bedside manner” it means a few things. There’s a lack of or no compassion expressed, their listening skills is low or at a zero, yes they are medical experts BUT even though you are the expert of your own body they try to downplay what you do know about your own self & condition and they even will go as far as to state that a couple of the other doctors you may have on your medical team like I do are wrong (they are know it all’s). Some feel as if they can talk to you any which way.

I hope this video empowers someone and sheds some light. You are your own best advocate and if you have a caregiver then they are as well. Just know that you are worthy of having the best care, to be the center of attention, to be listened to and to receive good treatment. PERIOD!
