Why is this so hard?
The system is often confusing and fragmented. There are many questions and answers that are hard to come by.
Although excellent care may be provided, we doctors often don’t have or take the time to sit down and really listen to patients’ or their family members’ concerns.
Many are left with a feeling of uncertainty, which is magnified by having your life turned upside down due to a significant illness or injury of a loved one. You are stretched thin. There was very little margin in your life previously, between work, kids, and social engagements there was hardly any time for you.
Now your loved one has been diagnosed with a significant medical issue, and you are struggling to keep up with all the expectations. You can’t get to the hospital when the doctors come by to see your loved one, and there are so many caregivers it is hard to know who to ask what questions to.
The rest of your family is looking to you for information and answers but there is no efficient way to get what you need.
I get that. It is where I can provide tremendous value. I will take the time to really listen to you and your concerns. I will provide you with compassionate advice based on years of experience. In times when the answer is not readily available I will work with you to find a solution.
Where do I find answers?
Are you and your loved one facing a new, complex medical diagnosis? Is it unclear what the expectation for recovery is? How will insurance impact your decisions? Are you trying to decide if your loved one can return home or do they need to be cared for elsewhere?
It is difficult to find specific answers to all these questions in one place. You can certainly find some information online and get bits and pieces from those currently caring for your loved one.
But, do you need someone to help you make sense of all the information? Do you need someone to help you put it all together?
I am here to help you understand the diagnosis, set expectations for recovery and make recommendations for post-hospital care.
