Description

Waiting in your doctor's office can make you feel nervous, impatient, or even scared. You might have only a few minutes to explain your symptoms and concerns. Later that day, you might remember something you forgot to ask. Knowing how to talk to your doctor, nurse, or other members of your health care team will help you get the information you need.
