As a Patient are You a Lion or a Lamb?

Regarding your healthcare, are you a lion or a lamb?A lamb goes docilely along taking whatever drugs your doctor gives you, never questioning if there's a better way, or more importantly, WHY you got this way and what can be done to resolve it.A lion is more aggressive, asks questions, doesn't take advice on face value.Our healthcare model is pharmaceutically drives, very siloed, meaning every symptom is treated individually with individual drugs.No one is looking at the root cause of why your various symptoms have occurred.In Root Cause Medicine we appreciate your body's ability to heal and we feel that it is our job to unburden your body from whatever is preventing healing from occurring. That is very different from "managing" symptoms, or band-aiding them with drug after drug after drug, never identifying the reason underlying your symptoms.Now a lion would ask questions about the drugs and the lion wouldn't just take every drug handed out but instead try to find a clinician who listened and agreed that a solution needed to be found. And platitudes like "you're just getting older", or "you're under stress" wouldn't be accepted as reasons - because they aren't.Stop being a lamb. Demand the right to know what's happening and your body and what can be done about it. Your body is strong and it loves to heal. It just has to be given the chance to.If you're tired of feeling terrible and you're ready to improve your health, we'd be happy to meet with you for a consultation: call us at 727-335-0400.
