The doctor was very detailed in explaining the reasoning behind the test he has scheduled for me. He also talked about options available to me contingent on the test results. There were some questions that I did not ask while I was there, but the doctor gave me ample time to ask any questions while we were talking. If a procedure is necessary, I will have additional questions regarding risks.
