Before settling on an examination or treatment, and especially if you are in doubt.
• Take some time to think about it, unless there are medical reasons against it.
• Get a second opinion on serious decisions.
• Bring in a trusted person if you want.
• Share your experiences with other afflicted people.
The following questions can help you address essential points during your
doctor's visit. As you will find an extensive list of questions, choose the most
pertinent ones to your case. It is best to write down your particular topics in
advance not to forget anything at the doctor's appointment later. As we have
seen in the introduction, your inner voice will keep babbling and will
eventually make you lose your line of thought.
