Yes, definitely. And it shouldn't be the patient doing the writing! Having somebody less involved to take notes can be super helpful. And yes, physicians should absolutely write things down too. Once I went in for surgery and after I woke up both the surgeon and the anesthesiologist talked with me and told me important things. Hours later, I only remembered scattered phrases, with my clearest memory being me saying I didn't think I was in shape to talk then. Happily, some of what they said was written down. But not all of it!
