We call this the Buddy System. There are things we want doctors to know - it's our patient's agenda. Part of our agenda includes what we think should be done on a national level. A note about anger. For many people anger is the fuel that helps them be assertive with medical personnel, allows them to take charge of their own care, and gives them a sense of control.
Anger can feel like a power surge.
At some point, you might visualize anger as a positive gift and transform it into energy you can use for your health and well being. As you move along, the anger may start to get in your way. Angry people don't always make the best decisions or see the whole picture objectively. Moreover, anger is not a healing emotion. When it's of no use anymore, consider giving it up and directing your energy to the job at hand - taking care of yourself in a new phase of your life.
