Tips for the appointment

📋 Bring your last 2–3 lab reports, even if your doctor has them in the system.
👥 If you can, bring a family member or caregiver — second pair of ears matters.
⏱ Most appointments are 15–20 minutes; pick your top 5–7 questions and ask them first.
📝 Write down the answers. Memory is unreliable when you're anxious.
🔁 Ask: “When should I come back, and what should make me call you sooner?”
