The surgeon is impatient with questions about the procedure and follow-up and
leaves you and your family in the dark about the need and recovery. Mom and Dad
don't feel comfortable asking too many questions. How do you get answers?
Do you know how to get medical staff to take you and your concerns seriously?
There are steps you can take to avoid a hospital-acquired infection. Do you know
what these precautions are?
Not all rehabilitation facilities are equal. How do you choose a facility that will offer
appropriate care for your or your husband's needs? What questions do you ask
when you’re making a choice?
Why Every Patient Needs an Advocate
Hospitalizations are difficult under the best of circumstances and too much can and
does go wrong.
Are you or someone you love truly prepared to be hospitalized? Do you have all the
information you need to make good decisions and take appropriate precautions?
And will you know what to do if something goes wrong?
The Patient Advocates
I am an organizer and a health advocate with a lot of experience getting answers
and results in a hospital setting and Sandra has extensive medical/surgical
experience and we may be exactly what you need right now. Information is available
but sometimes not easily available; you need to know how to get it. Cooperation is
achievable but you need to know how to get that, too. And organization is essential
to successful, less stressful oversight.
If work, distance or family obligations make it hard for you to tend to a loved one’s
well-being or if you need help preparing yourself or anyone for a hospital stay or if
the worst has happened and you aren't getting the answers or cooperation you
need, let's talk about how we can help.

and your family, please click on the FAQ link below.
