Can you talk to your doctor? Does he provide the care you need?

Do you have a doctor who does not listen to you? Do you feel you are caught in the middle of a medical world not interested in your needs? Finding the right doctor is of great concern to people living with HIV. It is a matter of expecting the right care and knowing your doctor will provide it. Empowered communication with your doctor is personal and important. Perhaps you have encountered problems and need information pertaining to the things ‘your’ care should involve. A community forum called “Doctor Visits: Are yours what they should be?” is being presented by the BCPWA Society in the Best Western Chateau Granville (corner of Granville & Helmcken) at 6pm on Tuesday, April 22. Open to persons living with HIV & other interested participants. Free dinner included. If you wish to attend this you need to rsvp to paulk@bcpwa.org by april 17th. If you have any comments or share experiences, please do so on this blog.
