Becoming a Bedside Advocate

At some point in our lives, we are all likely to serve as bedside advocate for a hospitalized loved one. And, just as likely to be woefully unprepared when that happens.The ordinary person has no idea how to navigate hospital chaos and engage with medical professionals on behalf of their family member or friend. There is very often no support system, guidebook or coaching available to us. Yet the better prepared we are to work harmoniously with medical care teams, the more everyone involved will benefit. This book aims to humanize the role of bedside advocate by sharing the author's lessons learned along with valuable information and insight provided by medical care professionals.
