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
you have any questions or concerns about any of this material
please call us. Our trained volunteers and social workers can
provide you with information, referrals, support and other written
material.
This
glossary
