How To Talk To Your Doctor When You Have A Serious Illness

Doctors have to have serious talks with patients frequently—talks about life and death. Yet, they are typically ill-prepared for those talks. You have probably never had that talk before, or possibly once or twice, making you even less prepared for that talk. How can you prepare and what should you focus on when you are faced with this situation?

“Marcy Baskin is incredibly good at her incredibly difficult job. Compassionate, highly intelligent, forthright, fast — and a great communicator. You could not have a better ally than Marcy when navigating the emotionally charged (and financially intimidating) waters of trying to find good elder care for a loved one suffering from dementia. Marcy is amazing and I recommend her very, very highly. Thank you, Marcy!"
