Acknowledging your own illnesses
I know... as a medical student and then a practicing physician, you have treated and read about every disease there is. Your a Doctor, not a patient, so you must be immune to diseases and health issues, right? Wrong!
With the schedule you keep, the stress you deal with on a daily basis, and the constant demands on your time & physical & emotional being, you are proned to just as many, if not more, health issues, than the rest of us.But most of the time, you down-play any symptoms you may have. You dismiss initial signs of health issues by saying "It's nothing serious" or "it's just overwork, the stresses of the job --- I just need a vacation -- that's all!".
Face it. You are a great doctor but not the best patient! You down-play your symptoms, put off consulting a GP, and self diagnose. I've heard the saying "the doctor who treats himself /herself has a fool for a physician". I am sure you have heard that phrase as well. Well, from the stories that I hear about, this is quite true.
So what are you supposed to do? Well, first off, acknowledge that you may be dealing with your own health challenge. It's not the end of the world, it does not mean you are no longer "INVINCIBLE" -- it just means you are human. Being human isn't so bad, is it?
So, where do I come in as a Certified Life Coach for Doctors? Well, I am not the GP you should be consulting with -- I don't give medical advice. However, I am all about assisting you to enhance your overall health & well-being by offering you invaluable tools to manage stress, maintain your energy level, and to help you to create a customized RX for Quality of Life (as I mentioned in my previous post). I have designed a comprehensive 8-month coaching program specifically design to assist YOU, the doctor, to improve your overall health & well-being.
Call me today to schedule your complimentary, conditional consultation with me. I will be your "secret weapon" to staying invincible!
