Join me on a personal journey as we confront the difficult realities of chronic pain and a healthcare system that isn't always on our side. In this episode, I'll tell my personal story, beginning with a regular trip to the dentist that ended up inflicting far more agony than anticipated - and it's not over yet so stay tuned. We'll discuss how negative experiences at doctors' offices can have a significant impact on us and what we can do about it. Using my expertise around social determinants of health (SDOH), I shed light on the substantial impact that unfavorable hospital and health related environments have on our general well-being. In this episode of the show, we will talk about: How do negative healthcare interactions affect our overall well-being? Strategies for advocating for quality care and identifying supportive practitioners. Encouragement to make use of your voice and tell your story. In addition, I have some exciting news regarding a research study that I'm starting at my institute to look into how poor healthcare experiences affect us and our health outcomes. Keep checking back for more information about how you may take part in and support this significant research. Come with me and have a cup of tea.
