22:09Now PlayingThey’re ignoring you—and it’s costing you more than you think.
Patients are being told to “take charge,” but in today’s healthcare system, that means more than just showing up, it means speaking up, asking the right questions, and refusing to be dismissed. Dr. Glenda Newell Harris breaks down what real patient advocacy looks like, from clearly communicating symptoms to understanding your insurance and knowing when it’s time to walk away from a provider. She makes it clear that doctors are not untouchable and that patients must see themselves as active participants in their care. When your concerns aren’t being heard, staying silent is no longer an option.
