Are You Really In Charge of Your Family’s Health?
When you become a parent your perspective on life changes completely. Things that might have once seemed unimportant suddenly turn into a top priority. That’s because becoming a parent changes everything.
For many Americans, getting access to convenient, affordable and high quality healthcare is a real concern, though perhaps not one that gets urgent attention. It can be easy, after all, for people to put off going to the doctor if they feel healthy or if symptoms are fleeting. When you have kids, though, it’s a different story.
While you might care about your health in your own way and do what you can to stay healthy, your children’s well-being is a different thing altogether. As a parent, you can’t afford to be spontaneous or leave things to chance. You also can’t afford to be in the dark when it comes to your child’s personal health records. Ensuring you have the right information about your family’s health so that your children receive the medical care they deserve requires careful planning – and failure to do so could spell disaster.
Be Prepared Away From Home
Traveling is the worst time for your kids to experience health problems. Whether it’s a regular cold or an unexpected reaction to a new medication, when you’re away from home and your child gets sick the feeling of helplessness can be overwhelming. From finding a doctor that accepts your insurance to getting an appointment that same day, there are so many things you have to worry about – but your child’s health should be at the top of the list.
Don’t Let Doctors Have All the Control
Imagine your child’s teachers have observed symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and the school psychologist recommends taking them to see a doctor. You take your child to their pediatrician, and after an evaluation you have an official diagnosis: ADHD. The recommended course of action? Medication. The doctor says Adderall is the best choice – and he’s the one with medical training, so you listen.
But what happens when your child starts taking the medication and something goes wrong? They start getting headaches, feeling light-headed, and they have trouble sleeping through the night. Isn’t it your job to prevent these situations?
