Painman, it is soooo frustrating to know that yur docs aren't as professional as you hope and expect them to be

I always record every single appointment I have now on a recording app on my mobile phone. It helps on several levels - it allows me to concentrate on what the doc is saying rather than trying to make notes, I can check back afterwards and make sure that what I THINK he said is actually what he said , and I can reassure myself that I haven't gone mad when he contradicts something he said earlier.

I don't ask permission, I just start the recording when the nurse calls me, and put the phone in my bag. The recording is for my personal information which is fine, we all suffer from a certain amount of memory and concentration issues with CRPS, so I think it's a sensible thing to do....

Good luck! I really hope you get some better news soon and feel a little more hopeful....

Bram.
