Trust Your Doctor




Doctors become a very important part of our lives.  Find one that you like and trust.  I needed to remind myself of that today. I picked the doctor I did because I trusted her.  When they suggest a plan of treatment, I put myself into their hands.  Don't be afraid to find a different doctor if they don't "click with you".  I remember last year before my surgery, I met a doctor that didn't click with me.  He probably was a great doctor, but not for me.  I went back to the main surgeon and express my concern and was referred to another doctor.  Later during my chemo treatments, my oncologist left the facility and I needed a new doctor.  I met two, one laid back and one more controlling.  I picked one and am happy with my choice.   My point of writing is back to the theme of trust.  The doctor literally helps you make life and death decisions.  Today when I knew what she was going to say about my treatments, I knew that she was right even though I didn't want to hear what she needed to say.  It comes back to that trust.  You make sure when you do repair work on your car or house that you trust the person working on your item.  Doctors are the same.  I trust the Lord first, but he will give me wisdom to choose the doctor or plan of treatment that is best for me.
