Ever feel rushed by your doctor and forget to ask something?  DocAsap has compiled some online tips to help you maximize your next doctor visit:

  • An AHA article recommends you bring a notebook to list out your questions and to take notes.  Also, slow down doctors to double-check instructions, and be bluntly honest with doctors.
  • A Kaiser flyer also stresses honesty as well as repeating instructions and voicing disagreements.
  • An amusing Men’s Health article recommends you “don’t rub your eyes or scratch your schnozz until you’ve treated your mitts with hand sanitizer” since waiting rooms are rife with germs.  The article also suggests you talk to nurses to get more information and see female physicians since they tend to spend longer amounts of time with patients.

Please add any other tips you have to share!
