Your Question:

How can I trust my doctor when they're not listening to me?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've seen situations where trust between a patient and their doctor can be broken due to a lack of listening. When a doctor isn't actively listening to their patient, it can lead to feelings of frustration, mistrust, and even desperation. Imagine if a surgeon, who is supposed to be an expert in their field, would disregard their medical training and listen to a "little voice" instead. Would you want to be operated on by such a surgeon? I wouldn't.

In the same way, when a doctor is not listening to their patient, it can be detrimental to the patient's health and well-being. A patient needs to feel heard and understood by their doctor in order to trust them. If a doctor is not actively listening, it can lead to misdiagnoses, incorrect treatments, and a breakdown in the patient-doctor relationship. As a pastor, I've seen how important it is to listen to others and to seek their input and concerns. It's essential for building trust and fostering a healthy relationship.

So, how can you trust your doctor when they're not listening to you? First, you need to feel heard and understood by your doctor. This means that your doctor should actively listen to your concerns, ask questions, and seek your input. If you feel like your doctor is not listening to you, it's essential to speak up and express your concerns. You may also want to consider seeking a second opinion or switching to a different doctor who will listen to you and prioritize your needs.
