[QUOTE="Andy, post: 210889, member: 5096"] Maybe difficult child is like many of us who visits a doctor with a determination of sharing our concerns and for whatever reason, we forget some of the things. If we feel that the doctor is really not listening to us or not understanding what we are saying, we also get discouraged and give up after the first concern is shot down (in our eyes) Can you ask him if he would allow you to help him prepare? "difficult child, are there things you want the doctor to know that you would like help with? Can I help you write down everything? Or, maybe if you make a written list to take? Many people like to take lists to their doctors so they don't forget the important issues to discuss." I understand where he is coming from with accents. Are you in the room with him? If not, can he ask that a nurse be in the room to help him go through his list and interprut what the doctor says? Good luck! [/QUOTE]
