Know Yourself
If you are the kind of person that gets overwhelmed with questions and writing down answers, you can come with a friend or family to offer moral support. You get overwhelmed with questions and writing down the answers, consider bringing a friend or family member to act as a scribe or second set of ears. Or ask your provider if they’re okay if you use an audio recording feature on your smartphone to record the conversation. Your provider may even include notes in the electronic medical record after the visit for you to review at home.
