ADVOCATE FOR LOVED ONE IN HOSPITAL OR REHAB FACILITY

Medical care is very good at most Minnesota Hospitals and Clinics. However, the doctors and staff are busy and must be efficient. The truth is, patient outcomes are better if a friend or family member is present and advocating. For one thing, someone with a serious injury or illness may have difficulty with memory and communication. Their advocate can sometimes fill in the blanks. Also, in most situations, the squeaky wheel gets the attention. It can be very helpful to have someone there squeaking for you.

Of course, friends and family do more than advocate with the doctors and staff. It is also important to have someone there to keep your spirits up and encourage you. For example, in many cases our lawyers handle, physical therapy is an important part of the recovery. Physical therapy can be hard and painful. The therapists are great, but it also good to have a friend or loved one there to offer encouragement.

MAKE SURE THE DOCTORS AND STAFF KNOW SOMEONE CARES AND IS WATCHING

Our lawyers suggest regularly having a family member present at the hospital. The person should introduce themselves to the staff and ask questions. It is particularly helpful to have someone with you when you are talking to a doctor. The doctors are often very time limited, so the patient may feel rushed and forget things. A family member or friend who knows your situation can help both you and the doctor.
