Christine,

Thank you! And excellent points about speaking with the nurse before your appointment. That's a wonderful time to bring up concerns. And sometimes the nurse (or physician's assistant or nurse practitioner) can answer your concerns by themselves.

Maybe if we all ask questions all the time, it will become so extremely common that we won't think much about it anymore. Doctors will encourage it more and budget more time for it, and patients will get what they need and encourage friends and family members to do the same. It's how we help change the culture.

Thanks again for a great post.
