Its best to make a list of questions before your visit. Write them down with space left open to write the doctors answers. Glad to hear you dont go alone to your appointments. Another set of ears is always important. Next time take your list of questions and have your wife play secretary and write everything down the doctor says. This way you will get the most out of your appointment. Some people also ask if they can tape record their session so they can go back and replay what the doc says. Not all doctors like to be taped so always ask first.
