#PrimaryCareNetworks Taking care of the caregiver: "The primary care system works for me. It's taken a while for me to get there, but this is what I do with my brother. We go to the same general practitioner and he takes care of all the body mechanics." 1/4
"In the same clinic there are social workers and they take care of all the emotional issues. So the doctor won't ask me if I'm overwhelmed. But the social worker, that's their responsibility. They'll recognize that right away." 2/4
"And they'll talk to me about what I'm doing for myself, what I'm doing for the stress. And that's pretty much a conversation I'm assured of every time when I go to see them. But I don't expect that from the general practitioner." 3/4
"What I expect from him is anything to do with body mechanics that has taken a while to get to that point. It wasn't always that way, but that's how the system works now and it works really, really good. " Even with all the stress, this primary care team is supporting the carer!
