21. What is the best way to handle visits to the doctor? - cont'd

Don't tell the person about the appointment until the day of the visit or even shortly before it is time to go. Bring along something to eat and drink and any activity that he or she may enjoy. If possible, have a friend or another family member accompany you so that one of you can be with the person while the other speaks with the doctor.
