Inform your doctor about your medications. He or she needs to see the whole picture to help you effectively. Ask follow-up questions. If you don't understand something your doctor said, by all means ask for an explanation. People shouldn't be afraid to ask their doctor questions.
Doctors are there to help patients understand their health.
People often get nervous during a doctor's visit and forget what their doctor is telling them. Ask your doctor to repeat what he or she said if you didn't get it down on paper. Focus on your health. Time is precious and so is your health. A physician's time, however, is limited.
