USER TESTIMONIAL
I’ve read through the articles on TheCaregiversVoice.com regarding Talking to Your Doctor, [see TALK with Your Doctor! 3-part blog series] and I really like a number of points about them:

  1. You give options for organizing medical history, info, and questions AND you remind
  2. Caregivers to do the same kind of organization for themselves.
  3. The strategies are easy and hands-on, too.
  4. When Caregivers are finished, they will have a useful tool to help with doctors’ appointments, calls to the emergency room, etc.
  5. I ended up reading many of the articles on your site, and was able to get some very useful ideas for some of my families who do not have Internet access.
