Anyone have advice on how to approach your doctor as if you arent' second guessing them (when in fact you really are?).
My doctor seems a little sensitive lately when I mentinon with that "big" doctor's up at the capitol hospital said.. Almost like, " hey, I'm the doctor here and I know what I'm doing."
Especially when the advice my doctor is giving me about medicine contradicts the advice from doctor's who have waaaaay more experience than she does.
Actually the doctor I see is the nurse practitioner. I am considering asking this week to go directly in to see the DOCTOR.. not the nurse.
Maybe I will have better luck with him. Besides, once when I saw him for allergies, he told me I looked "nice."
Maybe I could use that in my favor. tee hee..
I guess I am new at being so proactive. I suppose I should just come out and say, " I will not take this Depakote but I would like to try Lamictal."
Is that too straightforward??
