re: Why do a lot of married men have to bring their wives with them to the doctor's office?

Breaking news, doctor upset he was able to get his questions answered because the patient came adequately prepared with the person that knew the answers to his questions and helped not waste his time.

I’m 59 and my health is shaky sometimes. I remember a couple years ago I had some blood work done well the doctor called and told me to come to the office also to tell my wife to come with me.
I guess when they give you bad news they want someone there with you. It was cancer but I can tell you it was harder telling her that they wanted her to come with me than hearing it from the doctor. She was all to pieces. I’ve had other health problems since and now she insists on going with me. I’m not rich but I’m blessed with her

Glad that you aren’t our doctor. We go with each other to many appointments, depending on availability. We are there for each other. Most good doctors would appreciate that.

If my wife didn't work, I know she'd be in there reading off a list of "ailments" she wants seen about or lists of various tests that might be appropriate.
I had my semi annual check yesterday and she calls and wants to know if I asked about: (insert list here)

So they can make a Facebook post asking for prayers and over sensationalize everything the Dr. said and get all those sweet sweet likes and emojis.
Also call ever person on their favorites list and tell them the exact same story about the Dr. visit.

Because the doctor doesn’t need to run tests since he is bringing someone who knows everything already.

Who wants to use a doctor that posts on message boards to complain about patients during office hours? Especially a doctor that specializes in wee wee’s. I wouldn’t want any mistakes on that part of the body.
Also, I am hard of hearing so want my wife to help listen in case I misunderstand something.

I took my wife one time. Had a pacemaker installed. Doctor came out to tell her, the surgery went great, and I was the perfect patient.”Just to remind you both, he can’t lift his hands above his head for two weeks.”
“He didn’t tell you?” “He’s officiating this Saturday!”
Dr about fell off his chair….”He’s running the clock and scoreboard.”
Dr said on the follow up “Is she always this funny?”
Makes things entertaining…….

I go with my husband for big stuff because I have a better memory, so I can better remember what the doctor said. He's not a baby that needs a mommy, he's a grown arse man that sometimes just remembers only what he wants to remember, like a lot of men.
When I have something go bad wrong, I make him come with me because he asks questions I don't think to ask.
We're a team with different strengths and weaknesses. Sorry you feel that way, but I'm not going to change what works for us.

This is how my first appointment of the morning went.
Me: So what brings you in today?
Patient: I do not know. I think she made the appointment because of my back.
Me: Ok. How long has your back been hurting you?
Patient: I do not know.
Patient's wife: He has been complaining about for 6 weeks now.
You can imagine how the rest of the appointment went.
In an alternate world, this appointment would have gone like this:

Is that an improvement?

Yeah, usually a demanding wife too. You end up dealing with her more than the patient.

Another doctor we wouldn’t choose…..

Because for some wild reason they care more about our health than we do.
I don't take mine because she wouldn't let me lie to the doc, but based on your experience I feel correct.

Don't worry, you'll be replaced by a nurse with a palm pilot soon enough.

If it's big, the spouse should always go. Every. Single. Time.
Lots of overall health information, treatment plans, medication information is dispensed; it is far too much for the patient to comprehend and remember.
I kept notebooks and wrote important things down. Between visits, I would write her questions down so we were prepared for the next visit. I would keep track of her vitals, and any reactions to the medications, pain levels, etc.
To the OP's credit, I believe he was referring to routine visits, for a routine illness.

I'm an independent SOB and can go to the doctor all by myself...I know what to ask and can understand what they're telling me. Won't knock anyone for bringing their spouse but I won't do it.

Me, either.
" Ummm...red?"
But you know, I was serious about hers, and knew every detail. The doctors we dealt with were appreciative, and one is still a close friend.
