Before you set foot in your doctor's office take some time
to prepare for the visit. This increases your chances of leaving the
appointment well informed and satisfied with the care you receive. Before the
visit you should think about the issues which you want to discuss with your
doctor. You should rather note down the main questions which you want to ask, so
that any thing which you wanted to inquire may not skip from your mind at the
spot. If you think that the regular
visit will not be long enough to discuss all the issues, you should take this
into account before the appointment.
