What I'm trying to say by this is having someone who is not afraid to think outside of the box and ask questions can really make a difference. Unfortunately, it may not be feasible in all instances as you state. Regarding medical misinformation on the web, I couldn't agree with you more. That's why I had recommended the sites from medical institutions instead in a previous post. |

I like the think-outside-the-box idea. That would definitely be our older son, who got it from his father and took it to another level.

This book may help some of you as it helped me tremendously: Snowball in a Blizzard by Steven Hatch, pub 2016. It helped me gain enough confidence to stop one of my providers from bullying me into getting a biopsy after a mammogram which remained the same year after year for 20 years.

But you're right in that in cases of new medical situations that we have never experienced before, it would not be possible to gain enough knowledge beforehand to ask good questions and to understand what is going on and may happen. In the current situations in ERs in TV, it sounds as if though flu is the biggest culprit. Flu has been all over the news, and there is no excuse for anyone to not bother to read up on it beforehand in the event they do get it. |

But getting back to your statement above - yes, don't be afraid to ask questions or speak up. It's encouraging to hear about some of your experiences. It goes back to advocacy - if you have a difficult time being your own advocate, find one who will be one for you. |

And lots of medical BS is being spread on this thread. Be careful CF. There is a lot of snake oil being passed for medical expertise here. Ask where a poster’s source of medical expertise comes from. If it from an individual’s research on the internet, that should be an issue. Do they have any real life expertise in medical care or the health system? If someone is suggesting that an individual should not move here because of medical issues, I CALL BS. They don’t know what they are talking about. Plain and simple.

And I hope you saw my responses, including how to check on physicians, other providers, and facilities. On top of that, listen to what Golfing Eagles has to say. If I have let you down, tell me what I need to let you know, CF. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
