I agree. the best security is to email a clear list of queries before each visit.
If you don't have print proof then ask for the nurse's/receptionist name and also ask them to repeat what you are requesting or advising. At teh end of each such contact I suggest you say "I would like to confirm the main points of this call..."

@robin615 That's a great idea, but unfortunately doctors are forced to see so many patients these days that I think if you tried to stop to "confirm", they would probably be very brusque as they rushed out the door. I do find the portal for me is the best means of communication with most of my doctors.
