As a patient, you absorb a lot less information when you are anxious, vulnerable, in pain, afraid or undressed. You need an advocate to speak up for you when you are unable to speak up for yourself.

Patient advocacy: "When a person develops serious illness there is so much to consider beyond what the doctor recommends regarding treatment - issues of family, work, insurance, disability, transportation and more can quickly become overwhelming, making a difficult situation appear insurmountable. But it doesn't have to be that way - working with well-trained, well-informed patient advocates can help people navigate the maze of health-related issues in a way that supports peace, balance, and the opportunity for optimal healing to take place." This book will help you become your own patient advocate.
