- Before the visit, prepare a written list of the questions you want to ask your doctor, to ensure that all your questions are asked.
- For the same reasons, before the visit, prepare a written list of the information you want your doctor to know
- If you don’t understand something your doctor says, kindly ask them to explain
- Take someone with you when you visit your doctor. Your friend will not be as stressed as you and will be able to listen to and understand the doctor with greater objectivity
- Get a second opinion when a major course of action is contemplated.
- Decide with your physician, who is to make the final decision as to the treatment you will make or if you will make that decision together.
