I was so glad to retire because of all the changes in the healthcare field.........and I'm sorry to say it, but it is going to go from bad to worse. YOU NEED AN ADVOCATE TO FIGHT FOR YOU!  |
I don't quite know what you mean by advocate - if you mean a friend or relative to go with you, I agree, you shouldn't go by yourself. If you mean some kind of legal advocate, I think that would just slow things down.
