2. Attend All of Your Follow-Up Appointments no Matter How You Feel
Doctors are frustrated constantly by patients who stopped taking medication or do not attend follow-up appointments because they feel a little bit better. This is especially true in the case of antibiotics which do not actually eliminate the entire infection when you only take half of them. But once people start to feel better, they think that they can save the rest of them for later and their body usually doesn’t have enough energy or a high enough white blood cell count to eliminate the infection.
The same goes for all of your postoperative follow-up appointments. You need to attend them even if you feel like you are doing fine because your doctor needs no how you are doing in every stage and this can only be done by testing. This way, they can adjust your treatment as needed so that you can either ensure that your recovery is complete or possibly even get back out there sooner.
