Health Advocate
I've recently discovered that every person needs to have a health advocate...someone to help them sort through the red tape of dealing with secretaries & doctors & clinics & hospitals. Getting to the sources of ones' medical problems these days is not as easy as it may seem. In some cases you have to take on the mission yourself; you can't rely on the medical instiution to be there for you 100%; you have to figure things out on your own & forge ahead to get the results you need.
I can't help but wonder about sick people in nursing homes or wherever, young or old, who don't have anyone (including themselves) looking out for them. It just seems like you can't just sit & wait for answers.
It's soooooooooooooooo frustratating & exhausting too. There needs to be a better way to get information.
