Do you know how to advocate for yourself when you’re sick, overwhelmed, or facing a difficult medical decision? Are you confident asking questions, understanding your medical records, or speaking up when something doesn’t seem right? And what if you don’t know where to begin?
Self-patient advocacy isn’t about arguing with doctors or navigating the healthcare system alone. It’s about becoming an informed, prepared, and active participant in your own care.
In this special video episode of Ask the Patient Advocate, Dr. Elena Borrelli and Christine take a deep dive into the skills that can transform the healthcare experience. They explore how to organize medical records, prepare for appointments, ask better questions, understand basic health insurance terminology, seek second opinions, build a healthcare support team, and regularly reassess your treatment plan and quality of life.
