| If you depend on one family member to be the message carrier to the others, you risk them being unable to answer technical medical questions.
They may also be unable to advocate for the position that you think is correct.
This may lead to a family decision that is divergent from what the health care team recommends.
Once the family has "made up its mind" it is more difficult to re-open the discussion. |
You, or the healthcare team, should deliver the message. |
