Best advice for PF symptom management | Video recording our visits have been EXTREMELY helpful for me to repeat the doctors recommendations EXACTLY to my dad. He is increasingly forgetful or in shock/denial. So when I “Jump his Case” or need to explain the necessity for a test, I will replay video to him. |
