-
- Kurse
If you're a patient or caregiver who is amid a critical or chronic illness, you may have found yourself hospitalized in a facility that lacked the option for specialty care providers, like cardiologists (heart doctors) or oncologists (cancer doctors).
If you have a speciality care provider, or more than one specialty care provider, do you know at which hospital(s) in your area they hold privileges to practice medicine?
Have you discussed these details with your primary or speciality care providers in the event you require hospitalization and have the option to choose where you are hospitalized?
Brooke Taylor has worked as a physician assistant in emergency medicine for the majority of her career. On today's episode, we discuss the importance of knowing ahead of time where your primary and/or speciality care providers hold hospital privileges and the importance of understanding when and if you have a choice between specific hospitals.
We'll help clear up any confusion by providing examples that apply to this topic. To be clear, we are not encouraging you to buck the system and drive yourself 30 minutes away from the closest hospital during a medical emergency just because your speciality provider doesn't have medical privileges there.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.
