How can i best communicate with my health care team if my wife has cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better done by: Patient. It is better for the patient to directly communicate with the care team. You can attend the meetings with the care team, with your wife's permission. Being the husband does not entitle you to protected health information.
