When The Doctor Says...

A friend recently approached me when her doctor diagnosed her with Osteoporosis. The doctor recommended a medication.

What would your reaction be to a diagnosis? Are you the kind of person that follows doctors orders unconditionally? What other ideas would you consider?

I am writing this blog based on my friend's reactions, which I thought were so appropriate and worthy of sharing.

She decided first to research, then talk to many different kinds of people and other doctors. For example her first thought was a nutritionist. What could she change in her diet that could improve her bone health. Then she sought the advise of some other types of doctors. From this information she devised a plan to try for a year until the next test.

Now not every diagnosis allows us other options but most may and it may be worth it to consider all facts and alternatives.

That was my two cents on that!
