T1 COVID has added such a layer of complexity to good communication! Everyone is so stretched when you call it's hard to get to the right person and if someone calls back you're repeating your story over and over or clearing up misunderstandings. #gyncsm

Meredith GTrinidad, MD @DrMeredithGT
T4: I think spacing out appointments has helped me give enough time for each patient consult so that I can still answer questions. I also tell my patients to list down things they forgot to ask and tell me on the next visit. #gyncsm
Sarah Temkin @temkins
Agree! If your doctor works for a hospital they are unlikely to have control over this. 🤯 Let the hospital system, patient care representative know. #gyncsm.
Dee Sparacio @womenofteal
Excellent advice for the patient. #gyncsm
Christina Lizaso @btrfly12
T4: I think framing the appointment around the patient's goals is always a good start. Helping patients define those and really understanding how those goals impact treatment decisions and needs. #gyncsm
