How do you prepare for doctor visits?

When it's time to visit your doctor, it's easy to come up with questions and write them down, but, do you take them with you to your appointment?  Is your doctor aware of your concerns and worries? Do you have all the information you need about your diagnosis?

Clearly communication with your team of health care providers is essential for wellbeing. Having over eleven years post transplant, all details matter, and you as the patient must be proactive. I still communicate with my coach prior to my scheduled appointments for clarity and focus. Try to ensure you have someone in your life to help you.

There are many ways to prepare for an appointment that I haven't mentioned. This blog is the perfect place to learn and share information. Remember that sharing important life enhancing suggestions is a great way to empower your life. Take action.
