Consumer Health Series: Taking Charge of Your Health

Consumer Health Series:

2. Taking Charge of Your Health:

The moment immediately after you understand that something is wrong can be truly horrible. It is important that you remain calm at this stage. What you need to do now is to gain control over the situation to help you to see the true picture. It may feel like a verdict as you find yourself quite helpless!


How do you get the help you so badly need? Gradually you will learn to ask the right questions and find yourself on track to acquaint yourself with the situation. The first step is gaining control of your medical condition is to write down exactly what you understand about it. You could start by taking a sheet of paper and list down all that you understand. Then go about writing about what you should know and what you would like to know i.e. your doubts, questions cropping up in your mind – no matter how long the list becomes. This will help you relax (a bit); will remind you what to ask your doctor, your insurance company and will become a basis for your action plan. The following example will show how your information and question sheet might look like:


Understanding my Medical Condition
My Diagnosis:

Medical Term and Layman’s term for my condition:

My Symptoms:

Obvious treatment: (if I’m aware of any):

Other information I have about my condition:

Lifestyle changes I think I should adopt:

Questions:

What are the possible causes of my condition?

Why are there other symptoms than those generally
Associated with this disease?

Will going through a standard treatment get me cured?

Will I need any specialized treatment?

How long will it take me to get well?



Will my treatment allow me to continue with my
current activities? Will I need a break from work?


Think about how you can get information about your medical condition……

Consumer Health Series: HELP yourself with Information Therapy:

"We believe patients are the largest untapped healthcare resource; and that Information Therapy can be powerful medicine ! The reason the healthcare system today is sick is because it is so doctor-centric. We feel the best way to heal the system is by putting patients at the center of it..."

This is the vision of Dr.Aniruddha Malpani and Dr.Anjali Malpani, Founders of Health Education Library for People - world's largest free health education library.

This is the first post on Consumer Health Series. We aim to help you become a savvy medical consumer. What we want to accomplish through these series is to guide you through the healthcare maze if and when you are faced with a serious medical condition. We will help you to take charge of your Health - in partnership with your Doctor !

Are you a medical consumer ?

Each one of us is a medical consumer - being human is enough to qualify each one of us as a medical consumer - we need not become patients to call ourselves medical consumers. In fact, every healthy person who wants to take charge of his/her of health will find each of the articles in this series of great use. Information Therapy will empower us with the best patient do's and don'ts, so if that day comes when we find ourselves ill - we will be empowered and know how to be the integral focus of our own health care team.

So, what happens when you fall ill ? Or worse, what happens when you are faced with a diagnosis of a serious illness ? Ill health could strike you regardless of your education or your status in society. Your world is changed forever !

Some of you will breathe a sigh of relief to have finally found out what has been making you feel sick, some of you will feel worse for the knowing - you may experience anger, confusion, sad, scared or may even want to deny or accept the fact which your diagnosis has thrown up. But, these are all perfectly normal emotions.

What are you supposed to do now ? This appears to be a dead end to an otherwise 'normal, healthy life' . Nothing in your life has prepared you for this turn of events when you come face to face with a serious illness.

By making an effort to gain control over your emotions and of your situation and by taking the time to take some simple steps you will be better equipped to make good decisions in taking care of your illness and health. Take charge of your healthcare.......
