Many
people feel intimidated in the doctor’s office – they’re
not sure what questions to ask, or forget their questions
when they are ready to ask them. These question sheets
will remind you of important questions to ask, so that
you won’t have to rely on your memory.
Feel
free to add or delete questions depending on your own
situation.
Take this with you and bring a notebook and pen. Writing
down the answers to your questions means you can read
and think about them later when you are at home.
If
