016 – Patient Advocate To The Rescue Part 2

016 – Patient Advocate To The Rescue Part 2

Teri's back! One episode just wasn't enough to cover all her wonderful information and how Patient Advocates can help us navigate being in the Sandwich Generation.

In this 2nd episode, Teri talks about what rights we have as patients while in a hospital setting. Our hands aren't tied if we're not happy with hospital treatment plans, discharge decisions, etc. Patient Advocates like Teri go to bat for the patient and if necessary, will bring your loved one's issues in front of a hospital ethics committee.

Teri also introduces us to a newer term - Senior Orphans and what to do if that describes you. And, finally, we're all aware of how scary Senior Fraud can be for your parent. Teri talks about their role in combating those risks with your parent.

As a bonus to listening all the way to the end, we tell you how you may receive a free consultation from Teri and how to find a Patient Advocate in your area.
