Welcome!
I’m Derrick. I’m here to help you navigate the pitfalls of the healthcare system (and hopefully give you some good stories along the way).
Whether it’s when to schedule outpatient follow ups, what questions to ask the doctors, or how to navigate end-of-life decisions, use this site as a resource. I’m hoping that over time I can help you navigate the holes in the healthcare system that have slowed the recovery of so many patients before you.
If you have questions or topics you’d like me to address, please reach out to me through the contact page.
