126. Q&A: How to Best Advocate for Your Child in Medical Decision Making (and High-Stress Hospital Visits)
Dr. Tony Ebel shares a comprehensive 5-step framework for advocating for your child in hospital and medical intervention settings. Drawing from his personal experiences with his son Oliver's 6-week NICU stay and recent emergency room visits, Dr. Tony provides practical strategies for parents to navigate medical decisions with confidence. He emphasizes the importance of slowing down, asking the right questions, trusting parental instincts, and thorough documentation when facing medication decisions, surgeries, or medical interventions.
The episode covers the paradox of modern medicine - its life-saving emergency capabilities versus its role in chronic illness - and empowers parents to take control of healthcare decisions for their children. Dr. Tony provides real-world examples and teaches parents how to avoid being "upsold" unnecessary medical interventions while still receiving appropriate care.
