Episode 92: "Our Patient Rights" With OurPatientRights.Com Founder Laura Bartlett

YOU are in charge of YOUR health and YOUR medical care. There are laws that protect your bodily autonomy--that prevent doctors, nurses, hospitals, administrators, etc. from administering treatments you decline. But if you do not know HOW to protect your choices, if you do not have an advocate to defend those choices, and if you do not have the legal documentation delivered to the right people, your chosen care may not be administered and your wishes not respected.In this episode we talk with Laura Bartlett, founder of www.hospitalhostagehelp.com and ourpatientrights.com, who has been on a "no-profit mission" to help others know their patient rights and how to advocate for them. She also shares how more "ordinary people", just like us, can help spread awareness and change the hospital system and what YOU can do to make a difference. Listen in.
