“Gramps is in the ER! You need to come here now!”🏥😭
That was pretty much how our week started – with a loved one in a life-threatening condition and our whole Italian family barging into the hospital, bombarding doctors and nurses with questions and asking them to perform different lab tests!😷🩻
Why not? We have the right to get the best care for our patient. It was a chaotic and tiring week, and our family learned something very important throughout the process. 😩🥱
Like when medical personnel tell you they have no room available, that may not be true! Or when they tell you something about the patient's condition, but you know better! 😡😣
How can you communicate what your loved ones need? What's the first thing you must do in an emergency? 🦺🚑
Get ready for an emotional episode that teaches you how to be a patient advocate, communicate with medical professionals, and navigate your family in these life-threatening situations. 😵😭
“Have a conversation before a crisis. I speak of this not only as the eldest daughter but with my brothers and sisters – we were not prepared. As much as I talk about everything, I talk to other people, I don't think it's clear to all five siblings what my parents' wishes are.” ~ Lisa Cini
