Synopsis
Our guest, Karen Roberts, shares her experiences of navigating the healthcare maze during a recent hospitalization. Should a physician inform a patient of all of their diagnoses? And what is the role of healthcare professionals in developing empowered patients that effectively advocate for themselves? We discuss the concept of "shared responsibility" - patient and healthcare professionals working together for the optimal management, and better health outcomes for such preventable chronic health conditions as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.
