How wonderful would a Health Navigator be?
Received this in an email this morning from the Breast Cancer Community. Just imagine if we had a "navigator" to guide us from diagnosis. https://www.findatopdoc.com/Women-s-Health/How-a-Healt...

You are so right, @sandramj the GP knows you are coming in for the results and what they are.
there should be a standard lot of information given out with contact details of all the support groups in your area, and the government support available too.
It would not be difficult to compile this.
It makes you feel like a number, not a person. Next "you have cancer, here is a referral" next patient please!
It has undermined my confidence in my GP in treating my health problems, but on the upside it has prompted me to be much more proactive in my health care.
I ask a lot of questions, I study up first and question specialists and I keep all the paperwork.
I have been guilty of relying on the health care providers to manage my health care in the past, but not any more.
There has to be at least one upside to this nightmare.
