Recognizing when it’s time to change healthcare providers

JR

Dr. Jerome Groopman (not in the photo) — a physician and author of books about doctors and patients — discusses on CNN the 5 events that let to know when it’s time to consider leaving your doctor.

It applies to CAM practitioners as well.

Do any of these scenarios apply to you?

  • The doctor doesn’t like it when you ask questions.
  • The doctor doesn’t listen to you.
  • The doctor can’t explain your illness to you in terms you understand.
  • You feel bad when you leave the doctor’s office.
  • You feel the doctor just doesn’t like you — or vice versa.

What would be the 5 scenarios that tell your healthcare provider it’s time to drop you as a patient?
