BAD MED WHEN MISDIAGNOSIS IS ME

Have you ever noticed that springtime just feels lighter and brighter? That’s because, believe it or not, the seasons affect us. When spring rolls around, the energy shifts, and it’s up to us to maximize those positive vibes. Let’s examine how we can make the most of spring and inject some color and vibrancy into our lives again after a long winter.

RELY ON COLOR.

When experiencing a medical issue, we all rely on our physicians to diagnose us properly and provide the best treatment possible. Too often, however, patients receive a misdiagnosis, resulting in months or even years of additional suffering and harm to their health. When that happens, do they have any recourse to collect monetary damages? Misdiagnoses happen more often than we might like to believe. Heart attacks are commonly misdiagnosed as indigestion or panic attacks, infections as a virus, and blood clots as chest pain. Frighteningly, cancer is the most frequently misdiagnosed condition. The human body is complex, and each one works slightly differently. Some conditions are also rare or difficult to diagnose. Further, doctors are only human and can sometimes make mistakes or overlook a piece of information, just like the rest of us. For these reasons, misdiagnosis cases are tricky. But a doctor can be held liable for malpractice if their misdiagnosis resulted from negligence. A misdiagnosis can happen for many different reasons. In some cases, a doctor doesn’t follow proper protocols or go through the standard process of elimination when making a diagnosis. Other times, physicians may order the wrong tests

Colors have the ability to elicit certain emotions and feelings. Tropical tones and pastels are everywhere in spring — the clear sky, grass, and flowers — so allow them to fill your space and take them with you as constant reminders to smile. If you’re up for it, wear some new colors to brighten up your wardrobe, and don’t forget to take in a sunset when you’re able!

ENJOY MORE HOURS OF DAYLIGHT.

Spring brings more hours of sunlight and warming temperatures that can give you more time to enjoy your morning cup of coffee outside. You can take an early stroll around the block, get in a workout outdoors, or just enjoy the fresh air. Also, many areas observe daylight saving time, which extends sunlight into the evening, so no matter how you choose to spend your extra daylight, make it an adventure.

WELCOME SPRING-CLEANING.

It isn’t called spring-cleaning for nothing! Decluttering, dusting, reorganizing, and tidying up feels great! It’s empowering and refreshing. There is something special about creating more space in your living space that gets the positivity flowing.

EAT FRESH, COLORFUL FOODS.

During spring, many delicious fruits and vegetables come into season. Berries, oranges, apples, carrots, avocados, cherries, spinach, and kale are all at their peak. Your local farmers market is a great place to get the freshest produce to fuel your body! Spring is a time for new beginnings and positivity. Make the most of this spring season by welcoming a fresh abundance of love and life.
