Your mind works so fast that you have to be prepared with a way to write everything down and then fill us in. A clipboard with a storage compartment is ideal. You can keep a bunch of index cards and pens inside. Just write whatever you need to ask or tell the medics and hand them the card - no chance of forgetting that way.
