Learning From My “Lived Experience” With the Health Care System

A few months ago, I tripped on some steps while walking outside, fell, and sustained an open fracture of my right ankle. This accident required a brief hospital stay, surgical repair, and a prolonged period of no weight bearing and no driving. My surgery and rehabilitation have been going well, and I am making progress to a full recovery. I am fortunate to have lived 55 years and have this be my first emergency encounter with the health care system.
