Patient question
How should a patient with coronary heart disease ask to record a clinic conversation for later review?
Answer reviewed by Zhou Kaiyu, Chief Physician
Professional answer
Before starting to record, explain that the recording is only for reviewing the visit instructions, and get consent from the doctor and anyone else present, and also check the hospital's policy. If recording is not possible, you can ask the doctor to provide written key points, or you can take notes on the instructions and then repeat them back to the doctor for confirmation. Store recordings and notes securely, and do not share them without permission if they contain others' information.
