What patients mainly want is first, a good doctor, second, a good treatment, and third, a good price. And this doesn’t change between countries in Europe or in the United States. I think this is pretty normal…. In Europe is all about cultural differences. We have to adapt to these differences every time.

One of the challenges I face as a patient advocate is having the (long term care) facility staff understand what our role is when I walk into a facility for the first time, I’m that outsider and I’m coming in with my binder or clipboard and it’s an automatically assumed adversarial position. So working with the staff and forging the relationship, I’m not a threat to them. Our goals are the same. We want the patient to get the very best care and I’m there to facilitate that.
