This is such excellent advice!
I did try to do this with 3 other doctors, and ended up getting labeled in their notes as "extremely anxious." Never move from one doc to another in the same corporation because they talk among themselves and have already written you off if you raise questions or call them out for mistreatment, which I did. This may happen to older women more than men cause these specialists are mostly male and totally arrogant toward women. One of them told me he didn't think I should know what the procedure involved. I insisted and he answered questions; but then he got even in the procedure. Every reassurance he had given me in the earlier appointment was a lie. He hurt me repeatedly and never stopped even though I was yelling in pain. I tried to move to get away from him and discovered he had paralyzed me with some drug. From now on I will have a witness present with power of attorney for health care who can call a halt to a bad procedure if needed because I wasn't able to talk in the bad one.
