I think it would be helpful to have a printed follow up sheet to give to patients, similar to post op. For example no lifting more than 5 lbs for 2-3 weeks, no strenuous activity for ? Days , no NSAIDs etc. I asked the questions & got answers, but may not have asked all the questions ? It would also help legitimize PRP in the patients eyes. Just a thought
