Advocate For Your Loved One

Be your loved ones advocate, especially if they can’t be their own. In today,s ever-changing health care system, doctors and health care facilities are required to have alot of paients and move them through the system quickly.Important issues will be missed and many mistakes will be made.Some can be avoid if the advocate keeps a list of current up to date medications, allergies, diagnosis, recent test,and DNR status.Be assertive, do not ever assume that if it was ordered by a MD, carried out by a nurse or a staff member from the doctor and or hospital that it is correct. That is not alway so.
