If you got injured, but you're trying to get back to running, one of the most important decisions you can make is which doctor you choose to see.
And it is entirely your choice.
I just got off a call with a runner who had a really serious issue.
She rolled her ankle. She treated it like a normal ankle sprain.
But about six weeks later, it was still a little bit puffy. It still hurts. It was still bugging her, and she wanted to get a second opinion.
She did the right thing. She went and saw an orthopedic surgeon to get a second opinion.
When we were on the call yesterday, there were three things that I saw as definite red flags and definite signs that this woman was seeing the wrong doctor.
What are the top three ways you can be sure you're seeing the wrong doctor?
Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
