5 signs your doctor may not be on your team - a podcast by Dr. Christopher Segler

Is your doctor on your team?

If you’ve been training for a marathon or any other event and you suffer a running injury the first thing that happens is that you become concerned that your foot is going to hurt and slow you down during your training. But then as things get worse you actually realize it may not just hurt when you’re running. You may have to change your training schedule or even stop running to get it to heal.

If you’ve ever suffered this sort of contemptuous delivery of healthcare, you may have become concerned your doctor really doesn’t have your best interests at heart. Maybe she just doesn’t understand you or fully appreciate how important running is to you.

There are many reasons why doctors will tell runners to stop running. And although sometimes it is necessary to briefly pause your training when you get injured, you have to be on guard for those times when it seems like your doctor really isn’t on your team.

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast we’re talking about 5 signs your doctor may not be on your team.
