Navigating a health care system can be tough. Especially if you just moved to a new area, or have a new medical issue that requires expertise in a new area. Or you just received a new diagnosis and you're not sure what this means for you and your family. It is scary with a lot of uncertainty.

Medical trauma doesn't necessarily mean medical malpractice. It means that your reaction to a new diagnosis, surgery, new medications, or anything else as it relates to your physical health is causing you distress, discomfort and probably a dose of fear.

Experiencing a medical trauma doesn't mean you have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder but it could mean you need a little (or a lot!) of extra support surrounding the issue. Having spent 21 years at the Veterans Administration, as well as in my own life, I can assure you I've seen a lot. And photos of broken bones or surgery scars don't gross me out!

Let me help you through the situation so you can handle it with a lot more knowledge and confidence.
