Asking your physician about what is happening with your child is always a proper priority and leads to better medical care for your child. Sometimes however, there will be days when an office is so busy or your pediatrician has been up all night, that everything that should be said may not be said. Sometimes we just plain forget, and assume you may already know all about the problem. But, remember what you're in thedoctor's office for, and go ahead and ask the questions which will help make things clear for you. Focus on the medical aspects of your child's illness and your visit.
Some parents feel that the doctor is too busy to answer questions.
Sometimes that can be the case . . . But, it is important to have all of your questions answered. Sometimes, other personal in the office can help. In other cases, we can get back to you with additional answers or for a longer discussion.
