When I opened my clinic, 15 years ago, my tagline was "Be open to the possibility of change."
I felt like my role was to help people think differently about their health, to get out of their own way and to be curious about what health care could be like.
In today's podcast, we talk about whether or not your doctor has to believe you in order for you to get better. My argument is that for the most part, they don't need to agree with you or believe you for you to get care.
I also introduce the uncomfortable idea that sometimes, our doctors are right. And when we've carried around beliefs for a long time, it can be hard to hear their perspectives.
If you've ever felt like your doctor's bedside manner or delivery were a major barrier to you getting better, or if you've ever felt like your story fell flat when you shared it, tune in. I think I'll change your mind about how to think about your health care visits.
If you're a health care practitioner who wants to get better at communication with your patients, our Practice Negotiator course is open for enrollment until November 9th, 2023. You can register here: https://discover.theconfidentclinicianclub.com/practice-negotiator-register-1
