On subsequent visits, there is important
information you will need to give me so
I will know how you are doing and what
you are feeling.
- How are your symptoms?
- Do you have any new symptoms? If so,
I would like you to describe them.
- If you are taking a medication I
prescribed, are you having any side
effects or reactions?
- Do you have any questions about your
treatment or condition?
It is a good idea to bring a list of
questions or issues you want to discuss.
This will help you remember what you
want to talk about during your visit,
and will make our time together more
productive.
As always, never wait for a follow-up
visit if you have a fever over 101° F,
ongoing vomiting, diarrhea, or other
bothersome symptoms. Call the office
immediately and ask to speak to me or
my nurse.
