In this Calling in Sick x Ask Alex, Dr. Preston Roche is BACK!!! This time, we’re decoding the language patients and providers use that leave us scratching our heads, or feeling misunderstood.

We cover things like: 🩺 What doctors really mean when they say a patient is “non-compliant” 📋 Why leaving the hospital “AMA” (against medical advice) isn’t always what it sounds like 🧠 The complicated moment when symptoms get labeled “just anxiety” 🔎 The tension around “I Googled it…” in medical conversations

If you’ve ever walked out of an appointment feeling confused, dismissed, or like you and your doctor were speaking two completely different languages… this one is for you.

xx,

Alex
