Don't complain if you are not doing what needs to be done, to help resolve your condition.
As my doctor said when I went for a meet and greet. "I don't care what the charts say, tell me what is going on with you". You know better than anyone else. I would be a fool not to listen, to this learned man, and follow his advice but the final judgement is on us. He can only advise.
Some people don't even consider what a doctor says when it comes to eating, losing weight, stop smoking, etc.
There are people who take their health seriously. I like to think I am one of those.  |
It seems you are not taking it the way he said it: He said, "You are seeing the best doctor you will ever meet."
One can't have it both ways. Either
you are your best doctor or the PCP you go to is your best doctor.
Although I agree with a lot of what you said I think you might be reading something into his statement that he didn't say.
Perhaps he should have said: "Each person has the potential to be their own best doctor."
