Why a written crisis plan helps
A crisis is a hard time to explain your history, your usual medicines and what works for you. US guidance recommends setting up a pain action plan with your healthcare provider ahead of time so you are prepared when a crisis hits (NHLBI). A written plan also helps the people around you act quickly, and gives emergency staff the key facts at a glance.
