We have definitely learned the hard way about treating doctors appointments like talking to lawyers or even a judge, with notes and as much proof as possible. For out of state doctor visits I even brought my husband and mother into the appointment (they both are main witnesses of my chronic health ordeal).
You raise a very good point about having a family pact about medical stuff, better to not wait for an emergency to try to figure out on the spot. I’m going take your advice ASAP and get my parents and siblings on board, and make a note for everything a doctor would ask for each person. They’re used to it for my health issues, but we never sat down and did it for everyone else.
