Doctor: um I think well that's question was <5:42:10 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: yeah and I think I said so I said <5:42:11 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: it was my last question again what concerns you have yeah <5:42:15 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: significant <5:42:19 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: I don't like being on all these medications because it just feels like they're a Band-Aid and you're not actually fixing what's wrong with me <5:42:19 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: oh okay I can understand those concerns but I want to reassure you that all these medications are there to either decrease like the progression of your disease or to help you prevent organ like prevent worsening of your condition <5:42:27 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: mmm <5:42:46 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: um <5:42:47 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: does that provide you some reassurance <5:42:52 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay <5:42:54 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: web I feel like that's kind of the same stuff that I always hear <5:42:58 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: so I really don't like to take my medications <5:43:01 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay what dislike do you have about taking all these meds <5:43:02 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: I just feel like it can't be good for me <5:43:06 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay can you elaborate more tell me more about that <5:43:09 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: I don't know just like seems scary to be on like so many medications <5:43:12 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: I can understand that um <5:43:18 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: um <5:43:23 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: do you have like a particular fear of being on so many medications <5:43:29 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay and I can understand that fear but we definitely look at on your medication list and we to check we check to make sure that these medications don't interfere of course things happen in adverse effects can happen with certain drugs but <5:43:32 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: I mean I always kind of worried that like one day they're all gonna like interact with each other <5:43:36 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: okay how can we like move towards getting off of them though <5:43:53 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: we are we are confident in what we're giving you and we don't think that that would be a problem for you <5:44:00 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay <5:44:04 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: because I just really don't want to be taking them <5:44:07 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: I would just like to be taking as like least amount as possible <5:44:07 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: um is there like a specific one that you would like to eventually come off of <5:44:14 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay so I'll give you an example for um you have diabetes so you're taking diabetic drugs so if we can get your A1C below and controlled typically patients stay on these drugs but we can work on like diet and exercise <5:44:18 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: yeah <5:44:36 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: but I think your your condition is far progressed and that probably wouldn't be the wisest choice but we can definitely come up with a plan that best suits you but as of now I think the wisest thing would be to stay on all these medications <5:44:52 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: okay <5:44:52 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: are you experiencing like specific side effects or is it just that you don't want to be on them <5:44:54 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: well no not really because like I I don't really take them every day <5:45:03 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay can you tell me more like why don't you take them <5:45:06 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: well because I just don't want to be on like so many medications so I'd really like to explore like other ways to like kind of <5:45:22 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: areas that I can improve so that may be like the next visit or like the one after that we can like actually talked about like coming off of them <5:45:32 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: like are there any other areas in my life that like I could try to like improve <5:45:37 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: yeah <5:45:41 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: yeah of course um you can try diet and exercising of course that helps um <5:45:42 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: um <5:45:48 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: and <5:45:51 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: on but so just a backtrack I just want to get a better understanding are you not taking your medications now regularly as prescribed <5:45:58 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay and is it that you're forgetting or you just intentionally not taking them <5:46:00 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: yeah it's like probably accurate <5:46:04 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: it probably more intentional <5:46:11 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: okay <5:46:15 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: well like right now I'm just <5:46:17 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: do you think that um <5:46:21 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: you can come up with a plan to say more consistent <5:46:28 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: just feels frustrating <5:46:31 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: because I like I told you I don't want to be on them but like if we could maybe work together to like come up with a plan <5:46:39 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: to make maybe changes in like other areas of my life like I feel like I'd be more motivated to like <5:46:39 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: stick <5:46:44 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: yeah um we can definitely work with you to come up a plan that works for you <5:46:45 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: with the meds for like temporary if that makes sense <5:46:49 PM> Samantha Gilbert - Patient: like like I know you just mentioned diet so I don't know maybe if we could talk about some ways to like improve my diet like <5:46:55 PM> Angie: like <5:46:58 PM> Yanique Attah - Doctor: mm-hmm ________________________________________________________________________________ End of transcript at Oct 14, 2025, 5:47:02 PM
