My wife worked as a nurse for over 27 years and I have learned a lot from her about not just letting the hospital staff just push you aside. She has always gone to Dr. visits with me and I with her. There is always something you forget and the other person will remember. It is also a good practice that if you care about someone, never leave them alone in the hospital for very long. Patients are in pain and on medications and may not know exactly what is being told to them or what is going on. It is always advisable to have someone else there.
