Just because a doctor says you have carpal tunnel or depression or anxiety, it doesn't mean you can't fix it. People feel like as soon as they get a diagnosis everything is out of their control and they need to just listen to doctors and accept their issues and stop trying.
drives me CRAZY. newsflash most doctors have no idea how wrist issues work and psych science is still in the dark ages I'm not saying to not take what they say into account, but you need to fix yourself. Taking meds for depression/never playing because of hand problems
and expecting things to just IMPROVE because you're listening to your doctor is not the most effective road. Idk kinda rambling but OMFG these things drive me up the wall. People are taught to think about health and doctors in this awful way T_T
i agree ppl should try to be active in fixing their health issues which i think is the main point you're making but doctors don't usually tell ppl to accept their issues and stop trying, ideally there should be a collaborative plan w/ the patient on board
its not usually that the doctors are telling people this. Its a flaw in how we are taught to think about doctors and health that people feel that way after consulting a doctor
You're operating under the base assumption that people listen and comply with their doctor's orders The vast majority do not
thats not really what this post is directly about, so I'm not sure how thats my "base assumption"? If you're not doing anything to help your health it doesnt really matter if you're ignoring a doctor or ignoring your issues on your own terms, the result is just as bad.
The timing of this tweet make me wondering if you had me in mind? Since there was a tweet about an update/my situation overall and I just felt like you were talking about me.
It better not be otherwise I would gladly school him on it. Carpal tunnel as well as mental health illnesses are both very real. As for your case you have tried with multiple specialists as well as dealing with them yourself / with help over a long period of time.
Please don’t take medical advice from armchair doctors on Twitter, friends.
