Answer My Health Question
My parents always told me it was good to ask questions when I was growing up, and I definitely took them up on this. I would ask questions whenever something bothered me, and not be afraid to ask a follow-up question if I did not understand their responses. Nonetheless, as a grown-up I have learned that asking a question is not always enough. Sometimes you need specialized knowledge.
Recently, I was looking for someone to answer my health questions. I had been having strange headaches and feelings of nausea lately, and I was worried that something would be wrong with me. Most people told me to just go and make an appointment with the doctor. After all, that was the surest way to answer my health question. The problem was that I wasn't insured at the time. If there was something seriously wrong with me, I wanted to get insurance so that I could be covered when they did diagnostic tests. I was scared to death that I would be coming down with a serious condition and have no coverage whatsoever.
I tried a lot of the answer questions online sites and looked for some information. The problem was that my symptoms could have indicated any one of a number of different conditions. There are so many different things that could cause headaches and nausea and strange muscle pains, and some of them were very minor. Other ones, however, were much more serious. I still had not found anyone to answer my health question adequately.
Fortunately, I had a friend who was in medical school And she agreed to answer my health question. She was very busy and was only beginning her medical training, so it took her a while to get back to me. Fortunately, she was extremely helpful. She actually performed a physical examination on me. She made me promise not to tell her medical supervisor – not that I would have anyway – because she wasn't officially qualified to perform medical examinations. Nevertheless, she was able to answer my health question. It appeared to be nothing serious – probably chronic low blood sugar. She prescribed a special diet and, within a week, my health problems went away. To this day, I'm glad that I had such a friend to help me out when things got tough. If I had not, I probably would have spent weeks and weeks more worrying about it.
Summary
Finding answers to health questions can be a bit of a search. Even professionals are confronted with symptoms that could be the result of many different things and are not sure how to proceed with treatment. When it comes to health matters, always get a second opinion.
