What kind of support or guidance would be helpful from a health care provider during the fall? I'm thinking things like practical or emotional or seasonal planning type support. Just checking in. I notice that when I go to my doctor, I just switch to my doctor because my doctor I had for many years, she retired, then I went to another doctor, wasn't feeling her. and I switched over to another doctor recently. And it's just like, when you go to your doctor appointment, everything is so rushed. You wait in the room with no clothes on for so long, and then when they come, they're in there for five minutes, and you just wanna like, you know, I need to talk about this. And it's like, I feel sometimes like I'm being dismissed. So it's just them doing, just being empathetic to you, you know, your needs and things like that. just being genuine when they talk to you and explain stuff to you. I mean, I'm an educated woman. I have a master's degree, but sometimes it be over my head. Just make sure I understand all the medical technology that you're saying to me. I mean, even if you gotta dumb it down a little bit so I can understand it, that would be more helpful for me. I just felt like this last year with my health, I've been dismissed by so many different doctors and I felt like the healthcare system failed me in a sense because I've been complaining about this is going on. They'd be like, what do you mean? You're all right. This is, all your labs is good. This is good. I'm like, no, I'm not good. I know my body. I've been in this body for 49 years. So just having a healthcare professional that actually care for you and show that they care for you, you know, because you gotta understand your why when you work with people. You just can't be doing it to be doing it because this is a field where we need you. You know, it's so many different health issues that we're going through and we need good supportive physicians and medical people that really care for us. And I feel as though most of the time I'm not getting that.
