Patients with rare conditions can often wait months or years for a diagnosis. In the meantime, they suffer – wondering if their symptoms are real or in their head. Marielle Lejcher had severe abdominal pain for 11 years before she found one very good doctor who took the time to put all the puzzle pieces together and ordered the right test. Key Takeaways: See a specialist. While you should generally start with your primary care physician, see a specialist if they aren't sure about your diagnosis or if your symptoms are getting worse despite treatment. Self-refer to a specialist (if your PCP doesn't want to refer you). Today, most health insurance plans don't require a referral. So if your PCP doesn't recommend seeing someone else, self-refer. And if that specialist doesn't arrive at a definitive diagnosis, make an appointment with a specialist with different expertise. Keep a journal. Write down the details about your symptoms. The details matter because a complex diagnosis is like a big puzzle, and the smallest detail can be the missing piece of information that helps the physician suspect an obscure condition.

Reading and understanding a medical consent form before you sign it can make the difference between acceptance and regret if you experience a complication. Cris Ross, the CIO of Mayo Clinic, shares his cancer journey and reflects on the complexities of surgery, recovery, and the lessons learned that inspired him to write a book on navigating healthcare. Key Takeaway: Avoid Regret Voice your preferences and priorities. You don't need to be a doctor or a healthcare professional, but you need to know enough about your condition and the alternatives to make informed decisions. Be realistic about the tradeoffs between different decisions. Talk about them with your physician and your family. Deliberating out loud is an effective way to make sure you fully understand the risks and benefits of different alternatives. Read the consent form. Really read it. Make sure it includes 4 key elements: purpose of the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives. For elective surgery, ask for the medical consent form at your pre-op visit so that you can review at home it without feeling rushed to sign it.   "Diagnosed: An Insiders Guide For Your Healthcare Journey" by Cris Ross and Ed Marx is now available on Amazon!

Welcome to the HITea With Grace podcast, where we spill the tea on all things health IT. In this episode, I’m honored to have Shara Cohen, CEO of Carallel, as our guest. We’ll explore a powerful concept: starting to consider caregiving as a diagnosis in itself.
