About Trisha Torrey, Every Patient's Advocate
Expertise
When you want to learn more about your diagnosis, medical tests, prescription drugs, talking to your doctor, or just want to find credible and reliable health or medical information on the internet, I can help steer you in the right direction. I'm not a doctor, nor a medical professional. I'm a patient safety, consumerism and advocacy specialist who believes patients do themselves a favor by finding reliable information on the internet, then sharing it with their health care providers.

Experience
I am a consultant in patient advocacy and consumerism. I'm a newspaper columnist, radio talk show host, seminar leader, and owner of two websites to help those who want to learn more about their diseases or conditions: diagKNOWsis.org and EveryPatientsAdvocate.com

Education/Credentials
Bachelors and Masters degrees in education. Marketing consultant for 25 years. This work, however, stems from a misdiagnosis I suffered in 2004 when I was told I had a rare cancer. I was able to do the necessary research to prove I had no cancer at all.


Awards and Honors
Named CNN's Hero of Patient Empowerment, 2008

Question
Hi

My wife's blood group is A Negative and my blood group is B Positive.

What complications can it cause at the time of my wife's pregnancy and what precautions do we need to take.Could someone advise please.

Answer
Ud,

You are asking about the Rh Factor.  Here are three articles that may help you.  Read them, but be sure you have this discussion with your wife's doctor, too.  It's very important her Rh Factor and the baby be monitored during her pregnancy.
