I've spent years working as a patient advocate, podcast host, and health coach. Countless conversations with fellow patients and providers -- as well as my own rich experience as a complex medical patient -- has given me unique insight into the "how-to" when it comes to standing up for ourselves in the healthcare system. Sometimes all we need is an ally to give us a boost...but there are also actionable steps you can take to put your best foot forward when you're faced with uncertainty. In this talk, I will give you concrete resources and answer any lingering questions you may have about your own practices.
WHAT I WILL COVER:
- how to find a provider
- how to interview new providers
- how to prep for doctor visits
- how to get what you need in your visit
- how to fire your provider
- how to afford care
- why the patient is really the one in charge
