I was just talking to my dad today about my sister needing an omnibudsman.
She has a rare cancer, started chemo last month (with doctor saying that they really don't know much about this cancer except that it hasn't responded well to any chemos tried so far... great eh?). It's in her lungs right now (previously in her galbladder/regular bladder so it's on the move) and she wants to discuss surgery but the doctor isn't keen on it (he's not a surgeon himself). Worse, he won't really discuss it except to say that surgery would disallow chemo for xx number of weeks (isn't this the chemo he said was a shot in the dark anyway??!). So she's right now trying to set up appts for the surgeon that did her earlier lung biopsy/surgery to talk with the chemo doctor to find out what the real score is. Frankly, we think probably she's "too far gone" and the chemo doctor doesn't want to come out and say that in so many words and destroy hope (although he's already refused to comment on Christmas)
But my sister is starting to get frustrated and feeling fobbed off... so maybe a patient advocate can get the doctor to understand that she REALLY wants to know the unvarnished truth of her situation.
Does my sister have to be a hospital in-patient to qualify for an advocate??Comment
