Yep - that's called a "patient advocate". I learned about it when I was in my teens, and went with my grandfather to the VA hospital on a regular basis.

Multiple times I had to remind the healthcare providers that he had long-standing kidney issues, that contrasting agents had caused immediate and significant reductions in kidney function in the past, and that as a result we should consider why such tests were ordered and what benefit the results would provide.

I 100% believe they would have unintentionally killed him years early if I hadn't been there to question them and push back.
