I had a GP/PCP appt yesterday. Being an AuDHDer, I had carefully scripted the entire visit over the course of a week, with a written agenda. I thought I had anticipated all directions it could go, and that it was going to be a short visit.
What I did not count on was the thoroughness of the medical assistant, and the approach of the physician. For the latter, he took on the role of a village elder, slowly and carefully imparting his reasoning and diagnosis background information. I learned a lot, but it changed my anticipated 15 min appt to an hour-long visit, and I didn't get an important referral.
Nice aspect of this experience is that I now have new considerations to anticipate when scripting visits in the future. Chances to grow are wonderful! 😀
