Whenever I’m at a new doctor’s office, I try to study the medical magazines provided in each respective waiting area.
Even though I always have my smartphone with me and could just as easily browse the internet, I still like to read medical magazines, especially if I’m seeing a specialist who I’ve never met before. For example, I had to see a sports physician once after I injured the muscles in my leg. In the waiting room there were brochures discussing all different kinds of muscle injuries from head to toe. There were 1 particular magazine discussing all sorts of leg plus hip injuries. Before I even went back to see the doctor, I had a wonderful system of what could have happened and what I would need to do with physical therapy to get the muscles to heal. When the physician ran a few tests, including an x-ray plus CAT scan, he said that I had a torn psoas muscle. This was 1 of the injuries I had read about in the magazine in the doctor’s waiting room. When I was waiting in the lobby at the medical marijuana dispensary, I noticed that they had a number of magazines to read themselves. There was abundant literature to read. They detailed all sorts of information regarding medical cannabis plus it’s common uses. For someone who is new to cannabis and is trying the plant for the first time, those magazines were seriously beneficial. Even the best marijuana physicians can’t remember every piece of information when they’re helping new patients see their way through the process.
