The Doctor Dis-truster
Their general distrust of the medical establishment may come from personal experience, stories from friends, or both. They may try to deal with their medical issues on their own or even ignore them altogether. Doing some internet searches, they may find information that seems to fit with their health problems, which helps ease any worry.
Most commonly this person will try to ignore the problem which may work fine for a while. Our bodies have an incredible ability to heal themselves of many common health issues but not all. A little guidance from a qualified medical expert can go a long way for persistent and severe problems. When the symptoms don't subside on their own or get worse, they will eventually seek some help with some reluctance.
Our advice.... find a doctor you can trust. This will go a long way in getting some answers and care you need. How do you know if you can trust your doctor? Open honest questions and answers is a good start. It is not uncommon to mistrust a doctor that only spends 5 minutes with you. Find a doctor that will give you an hour to explain what the problem is and what you can do about it. We offer a 15 minute consult for free at our office. See if you can find a doctor that will do the same for you.
