Outsiders would say that I've lived a difficult life. I have never been fully healthy. Just as doctors prescribe a medicine to "fix" my problem, another issue pops up. It would be really easy to feel sorry for myself. Constantly being prodded and seeing specialists takes a toll, both physically and mentally. On the plus side, besides medical issues, I have a loving, supportive family and a great job that understands that I sometimes need an hour or two off in the middle of the day to see a doctor. I've come to the understanding that this is just who I am and it is ok that navigating some health problems is a part of me. What is really nice, and unexpected, is when an appointment goes smoothly. I'm not sure whether I am a doctor's best friend because my repeat business is good for his wallet, or his nightmare because I never seem to fully get better. That being said, I recently saw an ear, nose, and throat expert and had a pleasant experience that is worth sharing. It is not that I think it is so interesting that the masses must know, but since I've become a bit of an expert when it comes to doctor's offices, I like to acknowledge when people treat me well. When I arrived for my hearing test the office was opulent. That is a funny feeling for a doctor's office. It was clean beyond words, the pictures on the walls were beautiful, and the staff was dressed like they were headed to a black tie affair after work. I'm not sure if I just happened to show up on a particularly dressy day, or they are really trying to emphasize upscale and professional care. The hearing test itself came with choices. What sort of headphones did I prefer to wear, what type of music did I enjoy, would I prefer sitting or lying down, and would a massage during the test ease my mind? I couldn't tell whether I was at a doctor's office or a spa. The woman who conducted my hearing test spent a lot of time talking to me not as a patient but as a friend. We talked about our backgrounds, our families, and our jobs. By the time the hearing test began, I felt camaraderie with her. It was almost as if my exam was being run by a trusted friend. It put me at ease. Because nothing is ever perfect with my various conditions, it was not surprising when the results came back and my ears have been experiencing some minor hearing loss. The clinic offered various ways that I could chose to combat this problem, and they fully briefed me on the pros and cons of each treatment. Getting bad news is never ideal. Getting it from people who seem to care, give you reason to trust them, and offer multiple ways to deal with the issue is the best of a less than ideal circumstance.
