The Right Help with Health
Health insurance for a performer is a major pain. Especially as a dancer or a singer. We need to see people who truly specialize in the voice when seeing an ENT. This means we can’t see just any ‘ol ENT. I have had the experience of going to crappy ENTs and then going to the top. It makes such a difference. Why? Because you get better. It really is that simple. Since going to a fantastic ENT, my voice has strengthened so much. I am more knowledgeable about vocal health. It’s the same thing for a dancer. You can’t see a doctor who hasn’t put in the hours to study the extra work a dancer does. We do some things with our bodies that we are not meant to do. But we keep doing it cause it is what we love. Only the top physical therapists and trainers who have done in-depth study of dance, can fully understand how to properly diagnose a dancer. It sounds obvious, but so many of us can’t afford these people. We have to go the people covered by our health insurance or ones we can afford. Yes, I am talking about the crappy doctors. They just don’t care about what they do, quickly diagnose, and get us out of their office as fast as possible. I am still on the search for a solution for this huge problem and I believe I will find it … and when I do … I will be sure to share it with you.
