Today I acted like a doctor instead of a patient. I caused myself an unimaginable amount of unnecessary stress during a stressful time, made @beewood17 cry, and sent myself into a tailspin of negative thoughts, all because I used my doctor brain on a patient problem. That’s how it normally works - except when the patient is you.
To my healthcare tribe: don’t be your own provider. Be educated, be an advocate for yourself, but let go of control and trust your healthcare team. Be a patient, period.
