What’s a medical term you learned because of your health condition or disability?

When you receive a new diagnosis, research your symptoms, or talk with your doctor, specialist, therapist, or psychiatrist, you may come across words and concepts you’ve never heard before. Sometimes, learning these terms can open up a whole new perspective and provide validation for what you’ve been experiencing.

What’s a medical term you’ve learned along the way?

TRUE or FALSE: I prefer in-person appointments with my doctor.

When looking for a new doctor or regularly seeing your current one, several factors determine whether they’re a good fit. One of those factors is how you attend your appointments. For some, in-person visits feel more personal and avoid potential technical issues. For others, telehealth or phone appointments may be more convenient due to accessibility, distance, or scheduling needs.

What about you? Do you prefer in-person appointments, or does it depend on the doctor or reason for the visit?

I would benefit from gaining more clarity about...

The world around us is constantly evolving, and opportunities to keep learning often arise when we have more questions than answers. Whether it’s about our health, finances, spirituality, career, work, hobbies, sense of purpose, motivation, inspiration, or personal interests, there’s always more we can discover and understand.

What’s something you’d like to gain more clarity about? What’s sparking your curiosity right now? What’s something you’d like more answers to?
