I would think that in a retirement community, the answer probably is 100% of people that believe in being their own health advocate.
All of us have lived and learned and seen medical mistakes and problems.
It would be prudent for all of us to keep written records of all visits to medical personnel, a list of any tests done with results, plus a list of any medications taken.
