> having an advocate that help you Just highlighting this in case people overlook it, since it's a very important concept. If one of your friends or relatives is ill, going to the doctor or hospital alone should be considered a mistake. The advocate ensures enough questions are asked, despite the condition of the ill person. I talk to a lot of people in developing countries who have little money, and I tell them to take their ill relative in a taxi or rideshare to a clinic, do whatever tests are necessary, and take them home if possible. That way the patient can get the most out of the healthcare system for a minimal, controlled expense before checking in.
