You Can’t Handle the Truth
Since the doctor and I agree to disagree on my taking the medication, I run some holistic options by him. I sense reluctance on his part and see a slight grimace on his face, as I explain in depth all that I would like to try and what I am currently doing. I feel well versed with what I am saying; yet I also feel intimidated and I know I shouldn’t.
What I don’t tell the doctor, out of respect for him and his profession, is how upset I am that my first neurologist told me I had MS. It’s really scary to think that when a doctor is not completely positive about your diagnosis, they will name something, anything, instead of admitting they aren’t one hundred percent certain. I could handle the truth, couldn’t you? I would respect the truth. In my book that beats an inaccurate diagnosis, don’t you think?
