there is so much inherent bias in medicine. and doctors are not well trained in how to be aware of their own biases. this is all such great advice. surgery is scary enough…the recovery can be so scary if your concerns/pains/reactions aren’t acknowledged. I strongly believe “care” needs to find its way back into healthcare. the cold clinical response is not caring.

that all said, I think this is such an important post. and I hope you are healing well and feeling more like yourself as each day passes! xo

Thank you so much for this comment. I am very well and healing, and my doctors have been incredible. The “machine” is hard and I wouldn’t know where to start in terms of changing the healthcare system. Doctors and nurses are under a lot of pressure and the patients pay for that price. Thanks again for your well wishes!
