what questions should I be asking my Dr.?
« on: February 27, 2008, 11:42:47 am »
Ok, so I am FINALLY going to see a specialist at the Cleveland Clinic on Monday!!  I know I have seen posts on here before about things to ask the Dr. and of course I can't locate anything.  Can anyone help me out?  I certainly have some questions, but I'm sure there are things I am forgetting.  Any feedback would be great!! Thanks Much!

 Try to speak to one of his patients who has undergone this mine told me the procedure would be a piece of cake? LOL I should have known as a Navy Chief that anybody that says anything is a pece of cake is usually full of it they just dont know till they cut into you? By then your already in the game?
