This is an interesting article from NextAvenue about a patient advocate, who “spent years helping others navigate health care’s maze of appointments, referrals, insurance denials and hard decisions”, suddenly became a patient herself after suffering a heart attack.
She learned that “being a patient is so much more than logistics.” She shares some advice, including creating a “go bag” and “go plan”; asking for help, which is a “form of strength,” not failure; and building networks of people who “know your story.”
