Medical Staff Share Advice of What Patients Should Really Avoid Doing

“It’s concerning when teens wish to speak privately but are denied by their parents, who insist on being present under the guise that nothing is private before a doctor. Teen years are awkward, and parents butting into things make it worse.

The belief that parents must be privy to all doctor-patient conversations can hinder open discussion, impacting the doctor’s ability to fully understand and treat the patient effectively. So please, respect your kid and give them some space if they ask for it.”
