Well I am definitely a reader now! Believe me I read every detail and words I don’t know (medical terms) I look up! Yes! We have to be our OWN Advocates!!!! Also need to make sure we ask doctors questions and not let them rush out of the room! We have to pay to see them which means we are paying for their time! Another reason I LOVE Mayo Clinic. They are paid salary, so it doesn't matter if they see 5 patients a day or 20, they get paid the same. They really stay and answer all your questions. (Unless there’s an emergency, of course). My husband and I also make a list. Hope you ALL have a Blessed day!
