17. Trust Your Gut and Doctors Don't Know Everything

Just because somebody has a medical degree or has been practicing medicine for decades, it doesn’t mean they know everything. It also doesn’t mean they understand your child. You know your child best. You instinctively know if there’s some thing off. Don’t ever dismiss that. In this episode I share a few examples of when medical professionals either didn't take our concerns about Avery seriously, or when they gave us horrible advice... that we disregarded, thankfully, and instead we trusted our gut! Content Warning: I talk a bit about Avery’s seizures which could be upsetting for some people. Also, there are a few 4-letter nuggets in there too. *** This podcast was recorded in Garageband and edited by Lisa Thornbury.
