carparkrecall
/ˈkɑːpɑːkˌriːkɔːl/nounVerified NewThe clinically important detail — a symptom, a question, a family history item — that returns to memory only after the appointment has ended.
It waits, politely, until you are in the lift or the car park, too late and too far from the notes. People text themselves, ring the surgery, or carry the item to the next appointment months away. Every long-term patient keeps a list that exists mostly for these moments.
Etym. — carpark + recall — remembering is easiest exactly where returning is hardest; the car park is the universal threshold of the clinic.
