What If One Page Could Change Every Doctor's Appointment You Have?
Episode Description
In this advocacy episode, I share the simplest and most effective health advocacy tool I've ever used: one single structured page that helps you organize your information, communicate clearly with your doctor, and make the most of every appointment.
Most medical appointments last between 10-20 minutes, which is not much time to explain your symptoms, ask questions, and walk out with a plan. Especially when you're nervous, uncomfortable, or trying to remember everything at once.
Your memory is not a medical record (and it doesn't have to be!), so a bit of preparation can be such a mighty tool in your advocacy toolkit.
If something in this episode resonated with you, share it with a woman in your life who deserves better healthcare conversations!
