The trust that the patient has for the doctor is an extremely important factor. Without it, healing is impossible or very difficult. Unfortunately, there are times when the doctor and the patient do not match the characters. Sometimes, continuing to visit a bad doctor, the patient does not understand that such treatment brings harm rather than a benefit. However, the professional and personal qualities of the person who is going to treat you can be recognized quickly, almost at the first conversation. Today we will acquaint readers with the phrases of doctors who should be an occasion to appeal to their more competent colleagues.
- “It should not hurt here”
An experienced doctor will not say that. He perfectly understands that every human body is unique. The same disease in different people manifests itself differently; symptoms (including pain) can vary greatly in intensity and localization. Pain syndrome indicates serious malfunctions in the body, and the patient needs a thorough examination. The doctor’s attempt to ignore your complaints indicates incompetence or unwillingness to help. You need to look for another specialist.
- “This is a reaction to the weather”
The dependence of some symptoms on the weather does exist, but it is not an independent disease. If the patient notes a connection between the deterioration of his health and the weather, the doctor should take this fact into account and prescribe diagnostics that will help to find out the real cause of the ailment. Differences in weather often act as a factor that exacerbates the symptoms of the underlying disease.
- “This is your age”
All people are aging, and their health is not improving. The age of the patient cannot be a reason for refusing medical care. If the doctor claims that the cause of your malaise is solely “senile” changes, this is a sign of his dishonesty. Everyone who complains of painful symptoms should receive a full examination and adequate treatment.
- “Your discomfort is only from nervousness”
The list of diseases in the development of which psychological factors play an important role is quite wide. It includes bronchial asthma, some types of arterial hypertension, gastrointestinal pathologies, and many others. In people suffering from psychosomatic diseases, stressful situations worsen the general condition and cause activation of pathological processes. In addition, depression, a bad mood and an overly acute perception of life’s troubles can weaken the health of any person and increase the likelihood of developing diseases. An experienced doctor usually takes into account the psychosomatic factor and prescribes appropriate treatment (including taking sedative drugs). But to see the only cause of the disease in the nervousness is unacceptable and means a danger to the patient.
- “Regular sex can solve all your problems”
A prolonged lack of sexual contact contributes to the occurrence of hormonal disruptions and a general deterioration in health. However, this factor is far from being as radical as some people tend to believe. There is no such ailment for which daily sex would be a substitute for any adequate treatment.
