An interesting part of this journey has been how sometimes my Drs have to be reminded to treat me fully as “only” a patient and how at other times, it reverses and they are the ones who remind me to be “only” a patient.
So, for the first part, it’s about, “You know what to do,” and in my head, I’m like, “No, I don’t!”
In those moments, all my med school training flies outta the window, or rather, I consciously kick it out!
Then to the second. In those moments, I remember, “Advocate for yourself! This is where the knowledge from your training comes in handy!”.
And then I do🙂…
