He has been there for 8mths,had some ups and downs,the nurses are very nice and call whenever something is wrong or just keep me informed if the doctor change his med or add anything. I just know it is the nurse that really know him, but should I at least talk to the doctor.
I don't know how often you are able to visit, but when you see the doctor making his/her rounds, just say "hello" each time, and once the doctor recognizes who you are, he/she will stop to briefly chat with you [depending on his/her schedule].
