Are the Healthcare and Insurance Systems Set Up For Patients To Fail?

In this new episode, Darryl and Emma sit down to talk about their recent experiences navigating the complexities of the Canadian healthcare and insurance systems. They deep dive into some of the complexities and identify how traumatic experiences and unnecessary stresses can negatively influence outcomes. They also explore ways the healthcare system could better support accident victims, touching on issues of accessibility, advocacy resources and involving other professionals to address holistic care needs.

In this conversation, Darryl and Emma discuss topics, such as:

- Darryl's recent experience getting into a car accident and the challenges he experienced navigating the insurance claims process.

- Emma provides an invaluable perspective on her own experiences as a patient.

- The importance of healthcare providers being sensitive to impact of traumatic experiences and injustice from accident victims.

- The complexity of psychosocial factors that influence patient outcomes beyond the identifiable physical symptoms that get the most attention with injuries and conditions.

- The need for better advocacy resources and earlier involvement of other healthcare professionals (i.e., Occupational Therapists), mental health supports, and legal guidance.
