[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a point of comparison: My friend isn't allowed to accompany her husband with cancer to his appointments. Not chemotherapy appointments, talking appointments! As a result, some important medical info was not conveyed, because her husband is a little woozy from meds and couldn't quite follow along, and he got an infection that complicated his care. The pandemic is lowering the quality of care for all patients, and I'm sure it has increased mortality from causes others than Covid-19. [/quote] That is awful. For appointments that are just discussions, the doctor should have offered televisits or for the spouse to be on the phone. With cancer, very often there is a caretaker involved and it’s critical that they hear important information direct from the doctor. [/quote]
