A member asked:
What questions can i ask doctors or tests i can have done while in the hospital to rule out causes for severe cognitive impairment?

Best Medicine: The best approach is to fully disclose every single thing that they ask of you. Their job, not yours, is to figure our the causes of your problem. They know their job very well. It is your job to tell them if you do not understand what or why they are doing certain things or tests; to ask for explanation if you do not understand what they are asking of you or telling you.
