Hi Jacs, I remember saying to a doctor at the rehab unit, " does it make you feel good standing there over me while I'm in a wheelchair?" And I followed it with " l may have a brain injury that doesn't make me stupid, I'm an intelligent woman". Needless to say he didn't respond to either statement, but it felt good saying it.

Janet, I almost said 'Does it make you feel good, playing mind chess with a brain damaged woman' when neurologist kept blanking all my questions ! x

My husband complains about it all the time. Try asserting yourself make " you " heard. People assume a lot and don't always get it right xx
