BEING YOUR OWN BEST ADVOCATE 9-8-2015

-
 



A sales person from a pharmaceutical company and I were talking as we both waited for doctors in one of my doctors' offices.
As we talked., he asked me this:: If you were on a deserted island (remembering all the side effects of every medicine) and  you could only take one pill, what would you take?
You have to remember that every medicine (pill) has at the very least a side effect.
The answer is (ready for this) PLACEBO!
If you take any medicine(s), please know what you are taking and the potential side effect(s).
Be informed! Be active in your treatment.
If you are getting any kind of medical and/or psychiatric care. be your own best advocate!
You are the doctor and the patient of your own body.
You know it better than anybody else! Why?
You are the only one that is living in it.
Love and Prayers,

Serious Problems That Circulate Among The Medical Profession There have been countless advances in the medical field. These fascinating evolutions have saved my life and the lives of countless others! These medical miracles have improved the lives of multitudes and have also created paths of wellness in the lives an infinite number of others!
