A New Prescription Podcast #2:
Advocating for Your Health: How to Be Better, More Effective Patient
In this episode of A New Prescription, Andrew and Dr. Leonard Zwelling explore what it takes to be a truly effective patient in today’s fast-paced healthcare system.
They discuss the importance of clear communication, advocating for yourself, and working with your doctor to achieve accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans, despite having only a limited amount of time with the doctor.
Using real-life examples, including Andrew’s wife’s sinus infection journey and Dr. Zwelling’s cancer patient with a rare thyroid diagnosis, they highlight how storytelling, trust, and preparation can make all the difference.
Tune in for tips on navigating the complexities of healthcare and becoming your own best advocate.
