Keeping a medical journal

I thought this was really good advice, if you're ever in the hands of the "sickness industry"! The importance of keeping a medical journal in any significant medical event, particularly those involving hospitalization, is a brilliant article recently posted by Janet Misserando. This is not only a good sanity saver, it may save your life or that of someone you love by ensuring your care is consistent, independently documented and not reliant on memory if a situation takes a bad turn. Especially good if you travel a lot, or are dealing with multiple Specialists, Drs and Nurses in an extended sickness event.
