Should You Fire Your Doctor

Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry

So, let's talk about the circumstances under which you should consider firing your doctor…

In this channel, I have always talked about the importance of having a good doctor-patient relationship, and more importantly, how a bad doctor-patient relationship only ever hurts the patient.

If you realize your current doctor is not properly taking care of you, you’ll need to make the difficult decision of firing your doctor and looking for a new one.

However, some might find that transition challenging, not knowing what to do and where to start.

That’s why in this episode, we’ll talk just about that as I educate you about the signs you should look for that will let you know it’s time. I’ll also share with you how you could make that smooth transition to your new doctor and ensure that it’s in the best interest of your health and life.

While this might be somewhat controversial, it’s your health that’s at risk, so this is a discussion that we definitely need to have.

So, join me in another episode of Medicine Mondays as we empower ourselves for better health and create a fulfilling life.

Notable Quotes:

“In this doctor-patient relationship, it’s a life-or-death situation if you got a good one and if you got a bad one.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“The worst thing to do is to leave one doctor because of one set of problems, and then go to another doctor who has the same set of problems.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“A bad doctor-patient relationship always hurts the patient, so you have to know when to fire that doctor, when to recognize that the communication, the respect, the trust level, the inaccessibility, is just too much for you to handle, and more importantly, when you’re not getting the adequate level of care to move forward.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
