Yes, great idea. It is hard to keep track of all the information in the visit. Bringing a friend helps. Also, so providers allow you to tape record the presentations.

It's a great idea to have someone else accompany you to appointments. This way you'll ensure you catch everything your HCP shares with you. This is a case where two people listening is better than one.
