After doctors found endless dam tests on your child, he and the rest of the medical staff give you the infamous "roadmap." This roadmap is supposed to tell you how your child is treated according to their condition and the severity of this disease. Often this roadmap leaves you with more questions than answers.

It is this time a familiar question floating in your mind.... What else?
What else? Information gathering entrusting your child the doctor, pray to God? It is imperative to learn as much about your child that possible disease. Discover the affects, side effects, benefits and disadvantages of each drug used. You step fear of that medical staff does matter. If it does feel, ask for clarification, explanation and confirm with the other members of the medical staff.

It is only by this vigilance that your child will receive the best possible treatment. You must be patient advocate for your child.
