I have had a few experiences of miss understanding in my life, on the internet that's common but also with the language barriers etc mis understanding can be so dangerous and lead to mis diagnosis.
This was not so bad at the time but my dad had a stroke and they asked all the normal questions plus the one "do you drink" now my dad said yes, maybe the odd pint, well I know that my dad actually meant the odd pint every few years and possibly only at Christmas, he never went out to pubs and never bought any, the Dr put on his notes that he was a heavy drinker!!!!!
Years ago when expecting my first child we built an extension and had ordered carpet, the midwife came to visit and I explain about the carpet and she put in my notes how I was very depressed about not being able to afford carpet....so far from the truth!
Loads of times we have rang BTand had some strange conversations the most recent and funniest was my Dyslexic husband phoning BT,he did put the loadspeaker on, I told him not to phone as we had recently had a break in the phone line (DOG!!!!!) and the broadband had lost a lot of speed but was re building up, anyway, the conversation from both parties was priceless, I was rocking in my seat laughing as neither understood each other and Steve being totally UN technical had no idea what the man the other end was on about!!!!!!
SO, like my old Social Work tutor said " never beat around the bush with questions, be straight to the point and don't ask if a couple have been sleeping together, ask if they have had full sex!!!!!
Otherwise your note's will read like the women became pregnant by immaculate conception!
