Medical problems often do not follow a schedule, and it can be frustrating to get them addressed when the next doctor appointment is weeks or months away. It’s important to have a plan about what to do for support between clinic appointments. A good first step is to discuss the issue with your health care team and to arrange to have a designated person or point of contact should such a situation arise.

In this episode, she describes how she helps her patients when they have a medical problem related to their Parkinson’s disease and their next scheduled clinic visit is some time away.
