Here are some tips for managing your healthcare:

• Be informed, not misinformed.
• Don’t self-diagnose or believe everything you read.
• Don’t imagine the worst, make false assumptions, or jump to conclusions.
• Do the research and weigh the evidence before drawing a conclusion.
• Seek expert advice and valid information.
• Beware of pseudoscience, misinformed influencers, or gossip.
• Self-advocate and seek support.
• Take a list of questions to ask your doctor in an appointment.
• Communicate in writing through a healthcare portal.
• Request a translator for medical appointments if necessary.
• Get a second opinion before making big decisions.
• Try not to become overwhelmed. Live in the moment. See the big picture.

These strategies adapt well for other personal business situations like communicating with a
child’s school teachers and administrators or making big purchases like a car or house.
