Listen "Being the "Difficult" Patient: Advocacy vs Aggression"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I dive into what it really means to be labeled a “difficult” patient and why advocating for yourself in the medical system is not the same as being aggressive. We’ll explore the fine line between standing up for your health needs and being misunderstood, how invisible disabilities often make advocacy necessary, and why it’s okay to insist on being heard and taken seriously. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, dismissed, or afraid to speak up in a doctor’s office, this episode is for you.Connect with me:Facebook: www.facebook.com/walkingwithheatherTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@walkingwithheatherPatreon: www.patreon.com/walkingwithheather
