We can all make mistakes when it comes to decisions about our health. Today, Tuesday, March 1, at the Sunshine Center in St. Petersburg, FL, Vicky Clapper of the Gulfcoast Community Center will be speaking about the 10 most common health care mistakes that seniors make. Other references to this topic include:
- Driving when it is no longer safe
- Fighting the aging process and its appearance
- Reluctance to discuss intimate health problems with the doctor or health care provider
- Not understanding what the doctor told them about their health problem or medical treatment plan
- Disregard the serious potential for a fall
- Failure to have a system or a plan for managing medicines
- Not having a single primary physician who looks at the overall medical plan or treatment
- Not seeking medical attention when early possible warning signs occur
- Failure to participate in prevention programs
- Not asking loved ones for help
It is important to know your body and to recognize when there could be a potential problem. Don't let things get to the point in which they become severe, this will only cause you more pain and suffering and cost you more money in the end. Don't delay the inevitable! Come out to the Sunshine Center today and learn how you can change how you handle your health care...it could be life or death.
