Finding a Doctor Who Listens

FINALLY! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ Itโ€™s been a struggle trying to find doctors to would actually listen without brushing everything off. I had to switch primary care doctors and I thought I would have to wait until January but I guess I got lucky because I was able to get in there today. After discussing everything with her she recommended that we do a full blood work up. She even did this mouth swab thatโ€™s supposed to detect cancers (just as a precaution). She also did another ANA panel since I have had a positive test previously about 5 years ago from another doctor. So now I just have to pray and wait for the results to come back. I know it might sound crazy but I feel a little better mentally because she actually LISTENED to my concerns! ๐Ÿ’œ

I love when this happens. If my doctor doesn't listen, I then switch. I will drive over an hour to see a good doctor. And when I find one I stick with them, switching practices/locations as needed.

That's amazing! I love it when medical professionals actually listen instead of thinking they know what's best without assessment first. Hopefully everything will be fine.
