Where do you start in postpartum rehab? ⁠⠀ ⁠

\\Monday Modification//⁠ ⁠ Too many patients h $\\Monday Modification//⁠ ⁠ Too many patients have divulged, "I'm really grateful for what they're trying to do, but I don't think they are listening." or "They didn't even ask me about that."⁠ ⁠ 🙋🏻 Let's talk about speaking up and being vocal in your short 15 mins (max) with a physician or any health care provider.⁠ ⁠ Add layers of age, gender, race and economic inequality to the power dynamic and this can lead to silence from you, the patient, not listening from the provider, or an environment of judgement and a real gap in evaluation and care.⁠ ⁠ 1. Shop around for a provider that makes you comfortable and listens - call the front desk to ask if they have worked with anyone with your condition/symptoms/experience before.⁠ ⁠ 2. Write down some questions or top 3 concerns you would like to address in the appointment. This will help you remember your biggest concerns and make sure they are addressed.⁠ ⁠ 3. If your issue has been going on for a while, create a one-page timeline of symptoms, lab results, imaging or diagnoses for them to look over.⁠ ⁠ 4. Bring an extra set of ears if possible! Having someone else who isn't as emotionally invested in every word can help remember details and next steps the provider offers, as well as, remind you of concerns you may have forgotten to bring up!⁠ ⁠ 5. If you are there for a specific test or treatment that you know is best and they refuse to provide you that care, ask them "please write in my record that you refused X,Y,Z" and then ask to see it. They will gladly write it if they know the decision to not provide that test or intervention is best practice. If it's not best practice, then asking for documentation will hopefully change their mind. ⁠ ⁠ 🤓 Pelvic health concerns can be a sensitive topic, emotional, embarrassing, and confusing to patients; for health care providers these topics are our bread and butter! Don't be afraid that we haven't heard it before; believe me, we have. Plus, that very specific information is probably helpful!⁠ ⁠ What other tips do you have for people seeking our healthcare who may have a history of gaslighting or medical anxiety?⁠ ⁠$
