Listen "1 Patient. 2 Doctors. 2 Different Opinions"

Episode Synopsis

Medicine is a science and an art, and this means that doctors can have vastly different recommendations about how to treat a condition. This is the situation Brigid faced when she was admitted with a wildly abnormal heart rhythm. Whose advice did she follow? How did she decide? 

Key Takeaway: Know the WHY


Record conversations with your doctors, PAs, and nurses practitioners - especially if you are in a situation where you are seeing multiple providers and feeling overwhelmed. 

Articulate your priorities. They can be financial, social, physical, cultural, spiritual. Only YOU can do this because priorities are personal.

Do your homework when facing a medical decision instead of getting paralyzed by choices. Have your questions ready and demand to know the WHY behind each answer.
