Due to some things I was dealing with last year I had way more visits to my doc than usual. So every couple months was him trying to tell me or question the symptoms I was talking about because he didn't see any outward direct effects. When I switched my new doc took 1 look at my records and immediately identified a couple things im already feeling the benefits of that she addressed. Advocating for yourself is a huge hurdle some deal with, especially Black people, when it comes to their doctors

If you dont mind me asking how did you know the new doc was right for you? Just based offa how they interacted with you off the rip or were you insistent and gave them an initial rundown with your questions and was like nah I need you to look into this specifically because of the last doctors behavior?

How they interacted with me and going out of their way to communicate with me. Even caught something the last doctor didn't
 
My black doctor never challenges anything I say.

If it needs X-rays, she just orders them instead of "I don't think that's necessary"

That's how I was able to do to physical therapy during covid cause of a knee issue that never healed

Finding the right therapist is very important. I got lucky on the 1st try but I know some folks that had to try a few times before they found the right one for themselves.

What makes the right therapist the "right therapist"?

Like what do you need to look for to even make sure they're right for you?
