Your doctor’s advice may blur from memory, but there’s a good way to keep it in focus!

When we’re under the weather – or have any health concerns – our minds and memories simply don’t operate at 100%. Fortunately, smartphones can help us “fill in the blanks.” For every doctor’s appointment, ask their permission to record your conversation, so you won’t miss a detail.

Have to admit some doctors are uncomfortable with this request, and it’s important to know, too, that in a few states it is illegal to record someone without their permission. If legal in your state, here’s a good workaround if your doctor resists your request to record your conversations: explain how recording their advice benefits them!  

“Everything you’re saying is so important! 
I don’t want to bother you later if I forget something.”

Then, listen later, as often as you like. Consider using an AI phone app that summarizes the recording – or transcribes it word-for-word for you. A caution – be sure to proof-read the text generated by an AI app, not always 100% perfect, but these apps allow you to make corrections.

Have loved ones who want to know how you’re doing? Just hit “send” to share the recording, or your notes.
