Medical advocacy isn't just helpful—it can be life-saving. When Erin Galyean lost her father to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1997, she couldn't have known that 20 years later, her sister Megan would face the same diagnosis, complicated by a rare and aggressive lung disease. Through these painful experiences, Erin discovered that her professional background in pharmaceutical sales and communication training provided her with unique skills to advocate effectively within the healthcare system.
The heart of effective advocacy lies in masterful questioning. Throughout our conversation, Erin shares powerful techniques for transforming closed-ended questions that might yield only yes/no answers into open-ended questions that extract comprehensive information from busy healthcare providers. This simple shift—asking "What side effects should we watch for?" instead of "Are there side effects?"—can dramatically improve the quality of care your loved one receives.
Ready to become a more effective advocate? Visit BadassAdvocate.com to explore Erin's books and her new interactive journal "Getting Through This Together," designed to create meaningful connections and lasting memories with seriously ill loved ones. Remember: your advocacy today could save a life tomorrow—maybe even your own.
