In this segment, Dr. Jaiwant Rangi explains that while doctors often assume seamless communication and a fully coordinated healthcare system, reality falls short. The fragmented nature of the system means patients cannot rely solely on clinicians for comprehensive care. Therefore, he emphasizes the necessity of a structured self‑advocacy framework—outlined in his book—to empower patients to actively collaborate with their doctors, navigate systemic shortcomings, and secure the quality of care they deserve.

They assume the doctors are talking to each other and they assume the system is watching the whole picture, but too often it is not. And that is why the patients need a framework and not because their doctor is not good, but because the system is not so flawless that they can depend on it. And system that I'm offering in the book or the framework that I'm offering in the book can help them understand how they can self-advocate for themselves and how they can work with their doctors and how they can expect the care that they deserve.
