【美国电台节目】医生喜欢遇到什么样的病人?

TRANSCRIPT

Even the most self-assuredpeople with the nicest doctors can feel a little tongue-tied when the doctorsays, hi, what brings you in today?

GORDON: I actually reallylove it when my patients come in with a written list of their concerns. Ithelps me budget our time together, and it helps make sure that you don't forgetanything important.

SCHUMANN: I totally agree. Tome, a list is a signal that someone is taking their health seriously. I alsolove it when patients bring in their medication bottles. That way, if adifferent doctor has added something new, you and your doctor can make a plantogether if he has concerns about medications interacting in unsafe ways.

GORDON: Another really good idea is to bring inrecords from any other docs you see or if you've been to the emergency room sothat your doctor can piece together exactly what's been going on. It's becauseeach health care system uses its own electronic medical record, and we usuallyhave no idea if our patients have been hospitalized or seen another doctor. Andrecords from those visits can be really critical to your health.
