Medical Appoints: Always Take Electronic Notes

Always remember you are the CLIENT
not a subordinate. Don't be shy about taking electronic notes during your medical appointments. Who can remember everything our doctors say? Taking medical notes helps you review important information shared as well as giving you an opportunity to get answers if you are confused and/or if you would like to reevaluate the risks versus benefits to medical advice given. If your doctor prefers you not take electronic notes, it may be time to find a new doctor. Doctors are teachers, not dictators. Notes helps you take responsibility for your own health.

As always, I am not suggesting the strategies I mention are a cure to any disease and recommend that all do their own research in order to make informed decisions.

Also, please consider the stress we have all been under and respect that we are all unique individuals, with unique needs. I hope you will join me in a united effort to be less judgemental and focus on being kind and loving towards one another.

Be well!
