T:Tips for Primary Caregiver or <professional_caregiver>	Q:HI all Just want to let all know that look after their loved ones and may have to take them to the <professional_practitioner> appointments like the <professional_practitioner> or even a <professional_practitioner> visitHave the person IF capable give their INPUT in the way they want it to be taken and let them stand up for selves to some pointsIF they are able too have them sit and do notes on questions they haveTell them it is OK to ask <professional_practitioner> to look at them and talk to them Many <professional_practitioner> as has been said I have seen as well will talk right over the patient and give info to caregiver or loved one YES this can be great and very useful BUT it can also be detrimental IMHO as it can cause the Patient to feel like a wee child that is being  watched over and will be chastised when they leave <professional_practitioner> office For those able let them have a big calendar and let them mark off special days as appointments and visits and Birhtdays ect. Try to keep them as ACTIVE in their healthcare as is possible . Thanks <name> .
