No more going to the doctor's alone
A consultation goes by quickly: you don't always dare ask your questions, you leave without having taken it all in, and the prescription remains unclear. I accompany you to your medical appointments in Châteauroux and the Indre, so you leave with clear answers.
1Who is it for?
- You are elderly or vulnerable and an appointment worries you: a specialist, test results, a diagnosis.
- You live alone and would rather not face it on your own.
- You are a son, daughter or relative living far away and want your parent to be well supported, and to be kept informed.
2How it works
- Before: we prepare the appointment together (about 30 minutes): your questions, your treatments, what worries you.
- During: I am by your side in the consulting room, if you wish. I make sure your questions are asked and I take notes.
- After: we calmly go over what was said. You receive a written report that you can share with your family.
- In the following days: a follow-up call to answer the questions that come up afterwards.
3What I do, and what I don't
- I help you understand and express yourself. I never decide for you.
- I am neither a doctor nor a nurse: I do not give medical advice.
- I respect strict confidentiality. Nothing is passed on to your family without your consent.
I meet you directly on site (surgery, hospital, home). Transport is not included: a relative, a medical taxi (VSL or approved taxi) or an ambulance, depending on your situation.
4A role provided for by law
Article L1111-6 of the French Public Health Code allows any adult to appoint a trusted person (personne de confiance). They can accompany you in your dealings and attend your medical consultations to help you make decisions.
This person can be a relative, or an independent professional like me. If you wish, I help you fill in the appointment form. For a one-off accompaniment, a formal appointment is not required.
5Fees
All inclusive: preparation, attendance, written report and follow-up call. Travel costs added outside Châteauroux. For several appointments a month, the Ongoing plan (€250 / month, 3 appointments included) is better value.
See all plansFrequently asked questions
Can I be accompanied to any doctor?
Yes: GP, specialist, tests, day hospital. The doctor is told I am there, and you remain free to ask me to step out at any time.
Do you pick me up?
No, transport is not included. I meet you on site. Depending on your situation, your doctor may prescribe a medical taxi (VSL or approved taxi).
Can my family receive the report?
Yes, only with your consent. It is often very reassuring for children who live far away.
Do I have to formally appoint you as my trusted person?
It is not required for an accompaniment. A written appointment is useful if you also want me to be able to speak for you to the medical team should you no longer be able to express yourself.
