I didn't have a choice of insurance, and was grieving, and decided that was it. My new doctor assured me that if one of his nurses ever said anything to me that disturbed me, to let him know immediately. I stayed with him for all of my pregnancies, and never had a problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-91151180923776657632017-03-18T12:46:12.489-04:002017-03-18T12:46:12.489-04:00I was at a conference the other day.

It occurred to me that it isn't just in healthcare, but education and many other places that we need to learn to be our own advocate. I wonder why it is so hard. What makes the change in a person where they finally learn it is okay to let others know what and how they need something. Interesting. For me, it took having children to learn to be an advocate for my family and myself. As a teacher, I love when students share how I can help them better. I bet many doctors do too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076282329093508289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-34192742001245790832017-03-17T21:52:42.262-04:002017-03-17T21:52:42.262-04:00Lene:

If I do not care for them or they will not laugh, I do not retain their services. At age 60, I gert that privilege. Rick Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927227605885917738noreply@blogger.com
