Language anxiety — scared I'll misunderstand something important

The coordinator's English is fine for booking, but I'm nervous about the actual consult and aftercare instructions. What did people do to make sure nothing got lost?

    Ask for aftercare instructions in writing (most clinics have an English sheet). Repeat back what you understood: "So I take this twice a day after food, right?" Coordinators are used to it.

    Record the consult if they allow it (ask first). Rewatching it at the hotel is way calmer than trying to remember.

    Have your questions printed. If they skip one you'll notice.
