180. You're Not a Tough Case!

I hear it so often...so many patients tell me I am going to be your most difficult case! Let me tell you why you are incorrect. Ever heard the term medical gaslighting? Here it is...doctor after doctor you have been told nothing is wrong yet symptoms persist. Symptoms are signs that tell us we need to dig deeper. Let me say it again.. You are not a tough case! When I meet with patients and look at the details the labs indicate (not just high, low or normal) and how they tie together, it becomes a beautiful symphony that can piece your puzzle together. Labs give such detailed info that when read correctly guide us to proper treatment for you and reversal of symptoms.
