Patient’s 20 Questions for Doctors

Many patients experience a great deal of great deal of anxiety and uneasiness when visiting a doctor’s clinic. You fumble through your medical files and the list of questions for your doctor you spent hours writing the night before. You read and memorize the list off the back of your hand; hoping to be answered by your doctor.  And as soon as you walk in the doctor’s office, you almost forgot half of it. 


Because the waiting room is filled to the brim with patients just as anxious as you, most doctors manage to evade your questions and only focus on the diagnosis. Doctor’s time is very limited and precious; if you don’t ask the right questions in shortest time possible, you won’t get the right answers and you might end up getting the wrong diagnosis. Your relationship with your doctor is very important; you have to work hard at it to receive the best medical results.
