"You don't have to be a "big shot"
to get doctors to listen!"

Dear Friend,

Imagine for a minute going in to see your doctor....

Got the picture in your mind? Are you looking at a nice, calm, relaxing picture? Or do you feel tense and nervous when you see the doctor, not knowing if he or she will listen, just knowing you are going to forget what to say?

Well, your troubles are over!

After 20 years of watching doctors and patients talk with each other, first as an EMT and then for the last 12 years as a doctor (not to mention a few years as a patient myself!), I have put together a report that will help you:

• Feel in control
• Be listened to
• Relax while in the doctor's office
• Have a pleasant relationship with your doctor
• Develop a respectful, give-and-take alliance with your doctor.

Practical tips to help you

• keep focused on what's most important and
• get what is bothering you the most out in the

Also:

• What to do with a doctor who is always late.
• What NOT to do and NOT to say when you are in with the doctor! (These are guaranteed to get your doctor upset!)
• Tips on how to talk with your doctor about new treatments you want to try.
• Six red flags that mean it may be time to find a new doctor!
• Four situations that mean you need to speak your mind, no matter what.

What to do about:

• money problems (you can't pay the doctor or afford your medicines),
• language barriers (you can't understand what the doctor is saying),
• philosophical differences (you and your doctor believe differently about certain health issues), and
• fears or concerns about your health
