Pediatric-oncologist Sam Blackman supports the idea:
I think that now, being a little more experienced, and a lot more comfortable with the words that I use, I see the benefits to this technique to far exceed the risks. Moreover, I believe that offering parents the opportunity to tape one’s important discussions with them telegraphs a message of confidence and trust, and would go a long way to establish rapport at a very important moment in a family’s life.

I wonder how lawyers, teachers, car mechanics would feel about having all their communications taped. Just asking.

How many lawyers, teachers, car mechanics get sued? Kind of an out of touch with medical reality comment. Just stating.
So I gather that you think lawyers et al would have no trouble being taped Concierge??
Just reiterating.
As a patient-type, I see no problem with taping doctor sessions. It’s difficult for patients to take in everything a doctor may say, and to be able to review a discussion at a later, quieter time, could be enormously helpful.
Its easier just to document everything especially with EMR macros and move on to the next patient.
