Words From The Wise

(Excerpt taken from Doctor Patient Communication Tips, courtesy of Quackwatch)

When consulting a doctor, try to present a detailed and well organized account of present symptoms and relevant past history. Before contacting the doctor, it may help to draw up a list to guide your presentation. If there is more than one problem, start with the most important one.  If you have a particular concern, bring it up at the beginning of your visit. If medications are being taken, either write down their names and dosages or bring the original bottles to the appointment.
