Sometimes they just need to be told‘this isn't working,' and they will try
very hard to fix it,” Tulsky said.
Alternatively, you could record your visit
so you can refer to the information later, Tulsky said- just make sure you ask
your physician if that's all right.
Signing up to use EHRs allows you more access to your records and educational material, Tucker noted,
and provides you with a secure system for emailing your doctor, Tulsky said.
It's true that doctors tend to be pressed for time, but that doesn't mean you should modify your needs to fit within a 30-minute window,
said James Tulsky, MD, chief of palliative care at Duke
University School of Medicine.
