You may have heard that one has to be one's own advocate. That means it is up to you to inform yourself. I ask questions and track everything. The Affordable Care Act mandated that all medical information must be made available to the patient online. It is important to read this information. I did, and I immediately sought out more specialized care and saved myself a lot of trouble. So it is up to you to read the reports and your Doctor's Notes which will confirm what happened during your visit. Be sure you have the right Specialist, because Specialists have subspecialties. Look up their background and training. I have seen two different pulmonologists for two different lung conditions.
