Working with Your Doctor

The following is a quick reference for working with your doctor from Living Positive Magazine.

• Schedule regular visits with a doctor whom you are comfortable with.
• Keep a list of questions and concerns for your appointments.
• Get a copy of your blood test results and learn what they mean.
• It’s okay to take a friend to appointments with you to help you remember.
• Ask for options to be explained, you can always refuse any treatment if you wish.
• If you are having a problem, talk to someone. BCPWA has advocates here for you.

Do you have any tips on working with your Doctor, or on creating a healthy relationship with them?
