How to Talk to the Doctor about Your Aging Parent's Health
Speak with your parents before speaking with the doctor.
As we age, we do need help with things that we once could do solely for ourselves. Your parents may come from a generation that is resistant to such help to a degree due to a culture of self-reliance. You do not have to convince them that they can't do it, but to an extent, you do have to convince them to let down their guard and let you in. Aside from situations that involve legal sway over their medical care, their permission is vital. The more you get them onboard with the notion of family helping family when it comes to health care, the easier these conversations will be.
Ask questions to understand.
Senior medical care can be complex. Ask questions until you clarify and understand. Once you have a handle on the complexities from the doctor, you will be in a better position to help your parents.
