26 years in practice. And sadly, these are some of the things I have witnessed, questioned AND continue to encounter.
These are not stories made up for Halloween. 🎃
They are real. Some of my clients have been through the healthcare system, been asked, 'Who is the Doctor here?'
Some are told their symptoms are 'just part of aging,' and there is nothing else that can be done.
One mother (when I was more of a newbie practitioner) was told it is 'mothers like you that spread infectious diseases to other kids for choosing to delay vaccinations until she did her research'. That 'freaked' me out. This is your baby; if a mother chooses to do her research, why is she not rewarded? An educated, strong woman is not scary, she is powerful, she is mighty.
We don't want dumbed-down, exhausted, dependent victims of a system that seems to be so antiquated. People on medications and suffering from the nutrient depletion...
Did you know that sometimes, when we look at the whole person beyond systems and body parts, but we look at their story, their home life, their life purpose (do they have one), extraordinary things can happen? It is usually fear that keeps us 'stuck'. The WHAT IF? A solid, good practitioner will honour your decision. They will listen to you, HEAR you, not put you down.
Some of my clients might not be here today had they not sought so-called 'alternative' help.
This is my experience and urgent medicine has its place 💯.
I have seen clients walk out of hospital after being on ventilators...clients live after being told they have 6 months...women conceive and give birth to healthy babies who were told this was not possible, kids biting, hitting, scratching, go back into remission, reverse type 2 diabetes and therefore reducing risk of dementia!
Healthcare is not scary, but what is scary is the 'not willing' to ask questions and being curious.
Health should be about informed consent and about investigating the WHY, not simply managing the WHAT.
What scares you about healthcare? Have you experienced any of these scares yourself?
Share your experiences in the comments. I'd love to hear them.
Happy Halloween 🎃
