Five Questions You Must Ask Your Doctor!

So often individuals visit their doctor for a specific complaint or health and wellness issues but leave without having a clear understanding of the doctor’s impression and plan. Not asking these questions may lead to misunderstanding about your diagnosis, medication regimen, and the timeliness of health and wellness screens. You must have a clear understanding of the uses of ALL your medications and possible interactions. Here are 5 questions you must ask your provider at least once per year: (1) What is your assessment and plan for this visit and my overall medical condition? (2) Are there any cancer screens for which I am due? (3) Can you match my medications with my diagnosis? (4) Can you review all my medications (including those from other doctors) for negative interactions? (5) Are there any medical issues about me that concern you?
