#8-Gauge your confidence in your medical team

I am very confident in my treatment with the osteopaths: Daniel and Todd. Todd is out there but, I know he is working to get my body functioning optimally so that it can heal. Daniel is not just part of my health care team, he is my friend and more invested than most in my recovery. I know he does research and more than would be generally required/expected in order to care for me as best he can. He also keeps me on tracks with the balance between training and healing.

I am confident also in the care I get at the Naturopathic college. I have had some fantastic interns there. The best is my current intern Rochelle. It is too bad she graduates a few short months. I trust the supervisors there and I know they are working for me, always pushing the envelop and the boundaries, trying to continuously offer me options... always doing research on my behalf. I trust that and I appreciate that.

I trust Chaman, another naturopath I work with. He is always working for me, and he's never charged me for his services. I know he just wants to see me get better.

I have confidence and a good relationship in my GP Dr. Taylor.

The weakest link is Dr. Covens. I have requested a referral to another doctor and I am waiting for that appointment. I know I need to find someone else because I have next to no confidence in him or his decisions.
