If you have questions or doubts about your diagnosis or treatment, do not hesitate to talk with your doctor. Schedule follow-up visits or make arrangements for a phone call with your U.S. physician once you return to your home country. Working together willingly with your physician saves you time and money, and it helps you get the appropriate medical treatment. Bring something to pass the time while you sit in the waiting room before your appointment. While some waiting rooms have televisions, books, or magazines, others may not, so it is a good idea to bring something you would enjoy reading or to engage in another small task like knitting or writing a letter.
Payment is usually due at the time of the appointment unless arrangements are made to the contrary.
When your diagnosis and tests are completed, your U.S. physician will discuss the results with you and explain any treatment you need. If you wish, your test results can be shared with your local physician.
