Can we really trust our health care providers?

1. Why would you not tell your provider about falls?

Being honest with your health care providers is crucial. Falls can be indicative of myriad other health issues.

I understand distrust, but the concern for one's health should transcend that. They can't help you if they don't know what's going on.

I'm admittedly a bit biased, having recently been diagnosed and treated for cancer. In my case, full disclosure was paramount. Symptoms that might have otherwise seemed innocuous provided necessary context and led to a quicker diagnosis.
