Improving Doctor/Caregiver Relationships
Tips for Caregivers from HealthCare Professionals
Be aware of a loved one’s medical condition prior to a doctor visit.
Be supportive of the doctor’s willingness to help, and saying “thank you” may mean a whole lot more than expected.
Be honest with concerns and questions, and understand that not every question has an easy response.
Know the intricacies at the doctor’s office and/or hospital in case of emergency.
Some doctors offer consultation appointments that allow a sit-down setting with the doctor to discuss all the issues and concerns.
Keep emotions in check and remember a doctor is there to help as best they can.
It is always good to write down any questions ahead of time
