Question everything! Ask the big and small questions, nothing is unimportant when you are dealing with your health and life. There are no "stupid" questions in this situations.
Thank you for pointing this out. I think many of us are intimidated by doctors, but we can't let that get in the way of finding out important health information. It could be the difference between life and death! Take care, Ronni (team member) I would suggest they write any questions down & submit to the Dr. This way you don’t leave an appointment with unanswered questions. I would tell them to take one day at a time & take care of yourself in any way you need.
