Here is a tip... Whenever I went into a meeting with a professional advisor, say accountant,solicitor or consultant, I would always politely ask them if they would mind me taping the conversation so as to allow me to refer to it later. You would be ammazed at the effect a tape recorder on the desk has on the focus of the advisor. It is the simple knowledge that you can replay what they say, perhaps to others for whatever reason, that makes them consider more carefully and in some cases more politely, what they are saying to you, or the accuracy of the advice you are paying for (we do pay our doctors wages,don't we?).
I shall be recording all my own GP conversations in future and I will also keep my own set of medical notes on whoever I see.
Should have done it years ago
