GOING TO VISIT THE DOCTOR???
A few tips for getting the answers you want when visiting the Doctor:
-
Take your medication bottles with you to the dr. visit..including all the over the counter medicines and vitamins you take on a regular basis.
-
Have a list of your questions and concerns. Put them in order of importance. Be realistic, it may take more than one visit to answer all of them.
-
Jot down some details of your problems so you are sure to mention them. Details are frequently forgotten and are usually important. BE HONEST.
-
Pay attention to the answer you are given, but if you don't understand the answer ask if it can be repeated.
- Bring a piece of paper and pen to jot down the answers to your questions. It will help to remember what was said when you get home.
