Good patients obey their doctors order’s – but doctors make mistakes too. A lot of people look at doctors as authority figures – and they may be the expert - but it’s important that we pay attention to our gut instincts too. If a diagnosis or treatment doesn’t sound right – keep asking questions until you understand what’s going on. Get a second opinion if you’re still not sure.
It’s crucial to pay special attention to hospital procedures too – even if they’re routine. Don’t assume everyone knows what they’re doing – it’s perfectly fine to ask them to check and double check anything concerning your care.
