May 4, 2026·7 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, I talk about a concern I hear all the time from adult children who feel like their parent's doctor isn't really listening. I walk you through why this happens, especially in short, high-pressure medical appointments, and why aging adults are more vulnerable to being overlooked. You'll learn the key signs to watch for and how to advocate effectively without creating conflict. This is about helping you feel informed, confident, and better equipped to make sure your parent gets the care they truly need.
