It is ever more important & necessary to advocate & engage in one’s health care. Dr @KarenFriedman9 & I have written a guide for patients, families & caregivers specific to the ER & hospital in our book “The Informed patient: A Complete Guide to a Hospital Stay”.

October is #healthliteracy month and in the Skills4HealthLiteracy project we focus on dementia: "Do not ask me to remember,
Don’t try to make me understand,

Kiss my cheek and hold my hand".
