According to medical research cited in the book Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a diagnosis is a collaborative process. So, why are we sometimes on the receiving end of a long speech in the doctor’s office rather than engaged in an active conversation?
Ask your doctors every question you have, and don’t be afraid to do so.
Perhaps the best thing we can do is educate ourselves on the diagnostic process itself, and make sure to do our own research.
Then, as a more confident, informed patient, you can better engage in your care. If we don’t advocate for ourselves, who will?
