So honestly, can I really not have my glass of wine with this antibiotic?

My husband is a financial advisor (stay with me I promise there is a point to this). When he starts talking about stocks, bonds, compounding interest or long term care insurance ...my head starts to spin. I literally have no idea what he is talking about. The first time we discussed our finances I felt embarrassed I did not know what all the terms or lingo he was using. When I confessed this to him, he looked me in the eye and said, “Please never ever feel embarrassed for not knowing a subject matter that you are not an expert in. It is my job, it is my duty as your financial advisor to explain these terms and processes in a way that you can understand. If you walk out of my office with questions or are confused, then I did a disservice to you.” 

When my husband said this a light bulb went off in my head! This is exactly how my patients feel all the time in doctor's offices or in the pharmacy. You have an extremely small window to talk with your physician about a medical problem and then there is an even smaller window for them to discuss the solution(s) with you. In most pharmacies you feel like you are “bothering” or “taking up too much time” with the pharmacist. My patients almost always walk out of doctor offices or pharmacies with questions and this makes me think we are doing a disservice to them. Unfortunately, this problem stems from a broken medical system. But that is why BHealth Consulting can be a perfect fit for you.

I will review all of your medications and supplements with you in a way you fully understand. Just like when I leave my husband’s financial meetings, I will make sure you leave with no questions, concerns and feeling confident. I am the medication expert and we will go over everything! Why are you taking this medication? How does it work in your body? Why are you supposed to take it at night? Is this supplement really going to decrease my wrinkles? Can you really not have a glass of wine with this antibiotic? There are no silly questions! I will help ensure your healthcare goals are realistic and attainable. I promise after one appointment with me you will walk away feeling more in control of your health. This feeling is priceless.
