* Make a list in advance of the things you want to discuss at your appointment. * If you dont understand something your doctor is saying, ask questions until you do understand. * Take notes, or get a friend of family member to take notes for you. * Ask your doctor to write down instructions for you. * Ask your doctor for printed material about your condition or suggestions for where you can get more information. * Dont forget that other members of your health care team, such as nurses and pharmacists, can be good sources of information. Talk to them, too. (Taken from New in Health)
