Getting healthcare support can be frustrating. You see your doctor about an ailment, get a diagnosis and a prescription and you’re sent on your way. If it’s serious, you may get a phone call from a nurse or physician’s assistant, but that’s usually it. Many patients are left alone, with little information on how to properly measure their progress or next steps.
