=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\nHi,\n\nToday I want to talk about doctors.\n\nYeah, I know, whenever anyone mentions
doctors, everyone tenses up and starts
thinking, “oh no\u2026 not that again\u2026”<\/p>\n

But seriously, and I know you know this,
there is a difference between good doctors
and bad doctors.<\/p>\n

I know that sounds too simplistic, but I’m
just using it as a foundation for what I
want to talk about today.<\/p>\n

Actually the idea of a good doctor can be the
foundation of success with bipolar disorder
while the idea of a bad doctor can be just the
opposite.<\/p>\n

If you have a bad doctor, it can realy make
a difference in your care. First of all, he
won’t even know who you are from
visit to visit.<\/p>\n

In my courses I teach about the
95%\/5% Rule:<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n

SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n

But basically,that 95% of people just get
assembly line treatment when they
go to the doctor. These doctors don’t
pay attention to their patients, they
just hurry them in and out.<\/p>\n

They don’t really care about you as
a patient, they are just basically a
prescription writer, quick to get you
out of their office so they can see
the next patient.<\/p>\n

You may get the medication you
need, but you will feel like cattle,
being shuffled around.<\/p>\n

This is a bad doctor, and believe
me, they exist, as some of you already
know.<\/p>\n

The worst thing about a bad
Doctor, a doctor who doesn\u2019t
pay attention to you, is that he may
not give you good medication, and
won’t work with you to give you the best
medication for your bipolar disorder,
so you won’t get better. And to me,
that is the worst thing.<\/p>\n

But then there are good doctors,
too. So let’s not throw the baby out
with the bath water.<\/p>\n

A good doctor works with the 5%
of the people. For example,
Michele, who you know works for
me, has a doctor who she goes to
and she brags on this doctor
because she says this doctor knows
her by name\u2026<\/p>\n

Always asks about her family,
and her husband, who she also knows
by name! And always remembers
about her last visit.<\/p>\n

The thing Michele likes most about
her doctor is that she doesn’t
“play God.” She isn’t afraid to
send Michele to another doctor
if she (the doctor) isn’t sure what
is wrong with Michele. <\/p>\n

She doesn’t want all the glory by
pretending she knows what’s
wrong or giving possibly the
wrong diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Plus, the other thing Michele likes
so much about her doctor is that
when she looks at Michele’s list
(we’ll talk about that in another
Email), she doesn’t treat Michele
like she’s dumb or anything \u2013 she
goes down the list with Michele
and makes sure she covers
everything on that list.<\/p>\n

And she treats Michele with
respect, even though Michele
isn’t one of her “rich” patients \u2013
Michele is just on Medicaid.<\/p>\n

For those of us who have
Bipolar disorder or supporting
someone who does (and have to
take them to their doctors), we
understand the difference in the
way we feel when we’re treated
with dignity and respect and when
we’re not just because we’re not
a “regular” patient because we
have Medicaid and we’re not rich.<\/p>\n

We deserve the same treatment.
We deserve the best treatment,
just like anyone else. Like a good
doctor would give us.<\/p>\n

Well, on that note, I have to go.
Have a great day!<\/p>\n

Your Friend,<\/p>\n

Dave<\/p>\n
