What a great BlogTalkRadio show tonight! Rebecca McCulloh (pastor and mental health counselor) was my guest again. Tonight she did most of the talking because the topic was about things that occur outside the doctor’s office. We discussed how to talk to others about your medical problems. One thing that came up was that if you ask someone about their medical problem and they can’t really describe things to you (and you know it’s not out of embarrassment), then that’s a big red flag that they may not understand what it is the doctor was telling them. You could then try to suggest that they call the doctor’s office to ask a few more questions.Rebecca also mentioned that it’s not a great idea to tell someone to call you if you need anything. The reason is that the person you’re talking to probably will never call you because they have no idea what it is you can do for them. Rather, you should say “hey, I can take you to the doctors or I could come over and babysit for you if you need a rest” etc.. Be specific about what you can do for the other person.Rebecca also discussed CaringBridge.com again and explained that it’s not just for terminally or severely ill folks but for anyone who might need to or want to be able to spread the word in a less intimate manner.Listen to the rest of the show:
