Patients recording medical encounters?
« on: July 10, 2017, 02:18:19 pm »
People with MS often have cognitive and memory problems, possibly hearing and vision problems as well. It may be difficult to remember just what was said during a medical appointment, and so we are often advised to take someone with us as a second pair of eyes and ears. If we can't do that, we might be able to record medical encounters, though it depends on the law in the state we live in, according to this article in JAMA, July 10:

"Can Patients Record Their Medical Encounters? What Does the Law Say?"
MS Speaks--online for 17 years

SPMS, diagnosed 1980. Avonex 2001-2004. Copaxone 2007-2010. Glatopa (glatiramer acetate 40mg 3 times/week) since 12/16/20.
