If I go to a doctors appointment can I bring a friend or relative?
Yes, it’s a good idea. Bring someone with you to a doctor’s appointment if you can.
It’s difficult to take everything in if you are nervous or emotional. If it’s a telephone appointment, you can use the speakerphone function and have a friend or relative in the room with you.
Two brains are better than one!
Involving friends or family is part of good self-management.
[Hint: Take some notes too, either on paper or your phone].
