I try to record many specialist professionals (after asking first).

Experts know what they are saying, and they often rapidly download dense technical information. I first noticed the problem after asking a friend for advice on handling a psych issue with a friend's child.

Otherwise experts talk and I listen and I understand, but I can easily forget nuance and detail.

I also learnt to record medical specialists talking to my mum, so I could replay the details to my dad.

Why would dad trust my recall? And will he trust facts if I've repeated them as a non-specialist? And perhaps dad picks up different aspects due to his own experiences.
