💬 "Medicine is a journey, and it's a two-person journey—your doctor and yourself. And y'all got to walk it together, especially if you want to be healthy."

âš¡ In this episode, I break down why even the best doctors miss diagnoses sometimes. From the reasons why this happens, to the mistakes you need to avoid, I'll cover it all and explain what you need to do to advocate for yourself and protect your health. Because remember, medicine isn't perfect, but missing doesn't mean your doctor's not trying. Healthcare is a two-person journey. It works best when you and your doctor walk it together as a team.
