Are You Suffering From Fast-Food Medicine?

by | Break the Status Quo

Think about the last time you ate at a fast food restaurant. Did you get the thick burger on the fluffy bun with crispy lettuce and a big slice of tomato that you were promised? Probably not. More than likely you got a shrunken patty on a flattened bun with a few onion bits and soggy pickles. Chances are that it didn’t taste very good and that it wasn’t long before you were hungry again.

Fast food restaurants claim to offer convenience and consistency. What they actually offer is an inferior product which leaves you disappointed.

Seeing a doctor can be a lot like pulling into a fast food drive-through. You have high hopes for the visit, that you’ll get the care and answers you need, but more often than not, you leave feeling disappointed.

Here are seven signs that you may be suffering from fast food medicine:

  • You don’t see the doctor for more than five minutes.
  • You don’t get your questions answered.
  • You leave the appointment feeling confused.
  • Your treatment works for a while, but then stops working.
  • Even though you follow the treatment, you don’t get the improvement you expect.
  • Your medications give you side effects but the doctor tells you that you just have to put up with them.
  • Year after year, you feel worse and worse.

If going to a doctor makes you feel like you are a cog in a machine, not a person, it’s time for you to leave the assembly line.

Look for a doctor who will listen to your concerns, who takes time to explain your condition and answer your questions. A doctor whose first instinct is to pay attention, rather than to write a prescription. A doctor who believes in your health and helps you achieve it, rather than looks for your illness.
