I suppose because from a patient's point of view, one must know how to ask questions and make decisions. Many people go along with doctor's orders without considering second opinions or stopping to think if the recommended course of action is suitable for them. It is highly recommended that if you have a serious health issue, that you take an advocate with you to important appointments so that someone else can digest the information, ask questions and stand up for you. This is especially important if you are in an emotional state- upon receiving very bad news/diagnoses, many people go into an altered state of mind. Advocacy means someone else is there to listen and tells the doctors your wishes if you are unable to.
