   Do You Know Your Parents' Wishes? Creating a Plan for Critical Situations

   “Gramps is in the ER! You need to come here now!”🏥😭 That was pretty much how our week started – with a loved one in a life-threatening condition and our whole Italian family barging into the hospital, bombarding doctors and nurses with questions and asking them to perform different lab tests!😷🩻 Why not? We have the right to get the best care for our patient. It was a chaotic and tiring week, and our family learned something very important throughout the process. 😩🥱 Like when medical personnel tell you they have no room available, that may not be true! Or when they tell you something about the patient's condition, but you know better! 😡😣 How can you communicate what your loved ones need? What's the first thing you must do in an emergency? 🦺🚑 Get ready for an emotional episode that teaches you how to be a patient advocate, communicate with medical professionals, and navigate your family in these life-threatening situations. 😵😭 “Have a conversation before a crisis. I speak of this not only as the eldest daughter but with my brothers and sisters – we were not prepared. As much as I talk about everything, I talk to other people, I don't think it's clear to all five siblings what my parents' wishes are.” ~ Lisa Cini In This Episode: - 00:27: Gramps ended up in the ER! - 01:46: Sometimes, parents or grandparents can put on a show - 03:01: Addie's perspective on the situation - 05:16: Italian families don't have boundaries - 05:59: The key to communicating with medical professionals - 08:28: Ageism is real! - 12:31: What we have learned as a family - 17:14: How doctors communicate with each other - 19:11: Ask your nurse to triple-check what needs to be done - 19:59: Getting the patient advocate involved - 27:10: Be clear about your parent's wishes - 32:14: Communicate!
