It surprises me when a patient comes into the clinic wanting me to fix what is wrong but refuses to comply to the treatment if it involves a slight change in their lifestyle.
You are injured, REST the area - "NO! I cannot rest it, just fix it"
Its funny she did not even seem to be listening to my explanation of her injury and why she needs to rest it.
Our bodies are amazing in that they are made to heal itself, so long as you allow it to.
Your life style is already affected by this injury, yet you wish to take no down time to heal it, just want it fixed today and carry on with life as if you were never injured to begin with...
Maybe she wanted a bandaid medication to "fix" it?
She bought into this quick "fix" mentality
Maybe she is just frustrated with her own life and needs to express to me how hard up she is and how much this is holding her back from her busy life.
Maybe she is just impatient.
It surprises me how much people take health for granted, and are not willing to put in the effort or costs into staying healthy.
