Items of concern and questions

A written list in certain situations is a priceless tool.  Utilize our Appointment Form (See: “General Forms” section) to help you remember.

If you or your client have more than a few items to discuss or questions to ask, prioritize them to be certain that you will talk about the most important ones first.

For example

• Are there any symptoms from the new medication you just started to tell the doctor about?

• Has an issue become more difficult to deal with? If so, make a list of symptoms or changes.

• Does anything make it better or worse? When does it occur?  Does it affect my daily activities? 

Be factual and be honest! 

Before going to the doctor, make a prioritized list of concerns and questions to discuss.
