We want to remind you that you as a patient have the right to be treated properly and with dignity. Dont wait for bad things to happen - be proactive! Research a health care provider before you go to them. Dont be afraid to ask a doctor how they plan to treat you before you accept their diagnosis. Dont be afraid to ask why they think you have a certain condition. Even after you get your prescriptions, go online and research your diagnosis, medications and check for any conflicts. You are also responsible for being an active participant in your treatment plan. The only way you can do that is by proactively educating yourself as much as possible. You may not have a medical degree - but you do have access to the internet.
