Preparing a Mental Checklist Before You Walk into the Room Copy
The doctor again goes through this before beginning the second interview.
I need to think this through:
My own feelings
Having both parents together
Privacy, if this room is not private – where do I find one?
Sufficient time to address parent concerns
My need to listen – to
not
do all of the talking
Turning off my cell phone
Asking
how
the family would like to receive information
Do I have the best information about Down syndrome?
Providing support service information
My own biases
Providing a sense of hope – how
I
would like to be informed, if it were me
