Understood. I can recall the frustration I felt watching watching the
ultrasound tech's face while reading the screen when I went into early
labor with my first child. I could tell she was concerned about
something, and I badgered her unmercilessly, but she wasn't allowed to
tell me anything, either. (Placenta previa; everthing turned out fine).

That is unnerving! So glad it was all okay.


It does amaze me that people leave their doctors' offices with
questions unanswered because, I suspect, they went unasked. Maybe that
does speak to the quality of the doctor-patient relationship, although
I think the patient bears a responsibility for developing that, too.
It's not a relationship unless both parties participate.



Well, sometimes when you're alone in the doctor's office and get hit with unexpected bad news, you get pretty shook up. I always take a list of questions to a planned office visit, but this was topic was new to me and I wasn't prepared for an invasive procedure. Obviously I didn't ask the right questions, but I don't always think fast on my feet. It's all worked out though, and I have apoligized profusely to the scheduling nurse for being a pest.
