Isn’t it funny how everyone thinks they’re an expert on your life? I had a patient the other day tell me he knew better ways to manage his health than what I suggested. Like, really? I adore my job, but I didn’t sign up for a game of ‘What Would You Do?’.
It’s wild how they think they know better! I often just nod and share a success story from another patient. Ever had similar experiences?
@arqu685 I totally get that! It’s like everyone’s a YouTube doctor now. Sometimes, I just say, ‘Thanks for the input, but I’ll stick to my medical textbooks!’ Ever feel like you should charge for a second opinion?
, this drives me nuts too — i love when patients think they can just bypass my training like that… It’s like, sure, you’ve got health insights from a quick Google search, but I’ve got years of education backing me up. Ever feel tempted to just throw out some wild advice back at them?
