Communicating with your Healthcare Team!

What advice do you have for the community about talking with your doctor? How do you prepare for your appointments and make sure your concerns are being taken seriously?

  1. Take a list with you to appointments, so nothing is forgotten to discuss.

    1. Great tip. That's what I started doing a few years ago, and with great results. Wishing you all the best. John. community moderator.

  2. Make a list of all your concerns before your appointment. Be honest and don't hold back. Your Dr. is your friend.

    1. that’s a great idea. The doctor will only know what’s going on with the whole you, if you share all concerns. Thank you so much for sharing your advice!
