Oh my! How much I could say on informed consent and communication in healthcare. To the point I’ve been working out book chapters for at least a year. It’s MEANT to happen and doesn’t. Patients are meant to be able to refuse without consequences as far as continued treatment (yes there may be consequences from doing or not doing something but we’re meant to be able to evaluate them and decide without risking the actual relationship) and so many things. Things that exist for a reason…. And are rarely followed through with less and less ability to follow the basics. It means we’re thinking ten steps ahead to look after us both in the moment AND acknowledging all potential outcomes in the future! It’s exhausting in what is already hard stuff to manage. Thinking of you xo
I understand the fear factor, Bailey, but obviously for different reasons. It hurts my heart that you're afraid for any reason. As much as your body is struggling, I appreciate it very much because it's keeping you here for us to love, and love we will. Always and forever, no matter the circumstances. 🙏🥰
