My Health Counts!

From the show:

Doctor

Judith's Story

“In 1990 I was diagnosed with Lupus. I was smart, saw a doctor regularly, had good insurance, but still I struggled to get the health care I needed. Soon, I was in a wheelchair, uncertain if I would or even could walk again. Then I realized It's up to me. . . I needed to take ownership of my health. I needed to take the lead, question what to expect, educate myself and develop a partnership with my doctor.”

 

Getting peace of mind about health care begins largely with finding the right doctor—one who values relationships based on openness and trust and provides high quality care.

 

“Mention everything that is a concern or question. Everything is important. My advice… know your family history, get screened, establish a good relationship with your doctor.”
