Tips For A Successful First Visit
- Write down all of your medical problems, and also the names and the dosages of the medications you're taking.
- Once you've written it all down, make a copy and give it to the nurse when you arrive for your doctor visit. They will add it to your medical records.
- Know what medications you're taking.
- Are you taking any prescription drugs?
If so, make sure you know the name of each drug, the dosage you're taking, and the number of times a day you take it. This includes herbal rememedies and over-the-counter drugs, even multivitamins.
- Also let the doctor know about medications you have tried that caused side effects or didn't work
- Be honest, and don't leave out details. The more details your physician has the better able he/she is to help you.
- Don't be embarrassed -- your doctor has heard it all.
- There is nothing that you can say or describe that would deter him/her from helping you to the best of their ability.
- Once you're with the doctor, take notes in case you want to look something up, or bring someone with you to provide a second set of ears.
- Write down the names of any medications the doctor prescribes. And don't hesitate to ask questions.
- Your questions will give you answers and in many cases helps your physician to better narrow down the best way to improve your health.
