We went to an appointment with my husband's doctor yesterday 'armed' with a long list of questions. I asked the doctor if I could tape the conversation and the answer was yes.
We told the doctor we had an appointment for a second opinion and he was understanding that my husband wants the best option available.
It's important to be your own advocate when choosing doctors and hospitals.
This forum has been great help!!!
