@paige.lennox.book: Bring someone to your doctor appointment—it changes everything. The "witness effect" is real: when someone accompanies you, doctors behave differently. They're more thorough, explain more clearly, less likely to dismiss you. Why? There's a witness. Research shows patients who bring someone have better outcomes, remember more, and ask better questions. Two sets of ears beat one. Bring mom, partner, or friend. What they should do: take notes, ask questions you're scared to ask, speak up if doctor dismisses you. You don't have to do this alone. #PatientAdvocacy #WitnessEffect #DoctorAppointment #PatientRights #HealthcareAdvocacy

Doctors didn’t take me seriously about chronic pain until I started bringing my dad with me. I ended up having a whole list of problems but I was told “you’re too young, take ibuprofen” for years

Talk to the doctor like he's fresh out of kindergarten, because that's basically what they are. They need to look up EVERYTHING.
