Patient advocates are not only for serious medical treatments that can impair your judgment. If you think you are not likely to fully understand your doctor, bring a friend or a family member as your patient advocate. We don't always catch everything our doctors tell us or we forget to ask questions. Bring a person you trust and tell your doctor that it is okay to share your health information with your patient advocate. Your doctor cannot share this information without your permission.
