It took me many years before I chose a doctor. I would avoid going to them at all costs. I preferred to wait until I reached a state of emergency and then to head to the hospital. Eventually, though, I finally did grow up and select a doctor. I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner. I’ve learned so much from her that I can’t even imagine what life would have been like if I hadn’t found her.

The main thing that I’ve learned from my doctor is how to take proper care of myself. I’ve learned about the right diet for my body. (It turns out it’s not the same diet that I’d been trying to stick to after reading about its great results online!) I learned about the benefits of certain types of exercise (like yoga) and the amount of exercise that I need to stay healthy.

However, I’ve also learned some other random things from my doctor. I learned that doctors have a special kind of insurance called physician disability insurance which protects them in case they get injured and can’t do their work. I’ve learned that many nurses choose to take positions that allow them to travel from one hospital to another around the country. These are not things I needed to know but knowing them has made me a more well-rounded person. I have my doctor to thank for that.
