Excellent advice. I was discussing this last night at my bipolar support group, and others brought up the HIPAA law (or is it HIPPA)that would not allow the dr to talk to me without my Dad's permission. So I don't think that will work. I'm also sure Dad wouldn't want me to accompany him to his appointment. I'm going to draft up some questions for Dad to ask the dr and hope Dad remembers or takes notes. I might even give him a mini tape recorder to take with him.
Thanks, Jost.
