Signaling Trust
FIND THE BALANCE BETWEEN BEING an advocate for yourself or your loved one and signaling trust in your health care providers. You’re at each other’s mercy. “As my father got sicker, I blamed myself and some of his doctors. Some of this was legitimate, but some of it was colored by the challenge of starting to lose someone you hold dear,” says Shamasunder.
If trust—the therapeutic relationship, in doctorese—is broken, it needs to get fixed. The best path is to air your concerns directly and try to work things out. Do a little soul-searching, too: Do I not get along with this person because I don’t like the news he or she is delivering? Is there something I’m not saying out of fear? There’s a subconscious power imbalance in health care, with the doctor viewed as expert on high, that can get in the way of patients advocating for themselves and that results in them asking for less or remaining silent. This puts both parties at a stalemate, so recognize that there are patterns of deference at play from which you can break free by speaking up.
We all know the long list of ways communication can break down. Remember, these are relationships (you and the nurse, you and the doctors, and so on), which means everyone has to own their part.
