Take This To Your Doctor

If you are not comfortable asking your physician "too" many questions, print this out and take it to your next visit.

What medical school did you attend?

What year did you graduate?

Were your marks above average or below average?

Have you gone for any other training?

Are you Board Certified? In What?

Do you have any other ambition or are you happy in this field of medicine?

What hospitals are you affiliated with?

Were you ever affiliated with another?

Why aren't you there any more?
 

FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

Have you ever done this before?

How many times?

Have you ever experienced any complications? What were they?

What are the side effects?

Will you be available and easy to reach in the days following my treatment/surgery?

Who will be in the operating room with us?

Will you be training students or other physicians while doing this procedure?

What is the emergency procedure?
 

If you are not 100% satisfied with your physicians response to ANY of these questions, now is the time to discuss it. Do not allow a doctor to answer "don't worry". You have every right to be concerned about your treatment or treatment of your family. YOU are hiring this doctor. He/she is not hiring you!
