Don't let him do that to you! The time that he's with you is YOUR time. You pay him for that service, and damnitall, he's there to serve YOU. Grrrrr.
I just suggested to Steph in the Living Room -- make a list. Don't depend on your memory. Make a list of everything you want to discuss with him, all your questions, all your symptoms. You think you'll know what to ask -- I know -- but the MINUTE he walks through that door in his white coat, your mind will shut down, remembering only the most obvious problem -- the pain. Then he'll start with all the fancy words which will zoom past you so fast, your head will spin. Your heart will race, your face will flush, and you'll smile sweetly, hoping he doesn't notice your fear.
Can you tell I have WCS? ("White Coat Syndrome")
Make a list -- today. Sit down and write out all your symptoms. List the questions you want to ask him -- no matter how trivial -- number them, and even hand the list to him if you need to. But don't let him get away with patting you on the head and walking out.
Grrrrr.....
