50 plus one Questions to Ask Your Doctor
by Elizabeth Drake
You are in a hurry to get to the doctor's office. The doctor, too, is pressed for time; the waiting room
is full and time is of the essence. Under the pressure, you forget to ask the questions or seek further
advice that you have been meaning to ask!
The simple fact of the matter is that there is only one person who can be and is responsible for your
health and well-being, and that person is you! No doctor can remember a conversation you had six months
ago (or longer); nor is he or she expected to remember what medications you are taking or your complete
physical history from two years ago.
Your health is in YOUR hands and this is to the book to help you manage it-and manage it the right way!
Questions and points of discussion for both women and men are included.
50 plus one Questions to Ask Your Doctor is a simple, clear, practical and up-to-date; take it to the
doctor's office with you as a reminder of what you need to discuss.
Important topics covered include:
- The importance of family history.
- Advice on stopping smoking and excess eating and drinking.
- Ways to handle declining physical health.
- Concerns about sexual relations and performance.
- The need for screening and early warning for cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
- The ability to recognize and deal with depression.
- Advice on sleeping disorders.
- Questions every pediatrician wishes parents would ask.
- What drugs and prescriptions you may or may not need and more!
