How can you make medical decisions if you don’t understand your choices?

When you’re caring for someone with a serious form of cancer, dementia, or heart failure, the doctors can ask you some tough questions:

Do you want us to place a feeding tube?

If their heart stops, do you want us to attempt CPR?

Have you considered hospice care?

Wouldn’t it be nice to feel more informed and supported before making a decision?

I created How To Train Your Doctor because I never want anyone to face big health care decisions alone or unprepared. My mission is to help you better understand your situation and the choices in front of you so that you can confidently make medical decisions without regrets or second-guessing.
