Time, they say, is the greatest healer. It’s a lovely idea, and it often works well for heartbreak, but it certainly doesn’t hold much weight when it comes to most medical conditions. Ask most health practitioners if they advise just waiting a few years to see if things get better and they tend to get a bit nervous. There is an issue that you feel demands some more direct treatment than a wait and see approach. Before you bypass those who prefer the long term option, hear out their concerns so you can reassure them as you reach for your scalpel.
