When your doctor tells you something that you don’t understand, Ask questions, Advocate for yourself! When you are sitting in the recovery room after someone you love has had surgery but no doctor has come to tell you about her case, Demand to speak to the doctor! Advocate for them. You have a new diagnosis and you are not sure about the plan, do your own research, ask questions, get a second or even a third opinion. The other day a young man came to see me for the first time after his doctor did not go over his recent test results. I commended him for not accepting the fact that his own doctor wasn’t available and found someone who was and who was going to explain things to him. ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS and if you can’t do it, find someone who can!!! Healthy You Medical, PC. Baldwin, NY 516-377-4100.
