Become Your Own Healthcare Advocate
We know that in politics lobbyists hope to have influence on important political decisions. They are advocates for their specific causes.

If your specific disease has stages, phases or degrees, know where you are on the continuum. Do enough research so that you aren’t buried in information on your first doctor’s visit.
