If you’ve ever returned home from a medical appointment and drawn a blank on what was said and whether you said enough - you’re not alone.

Likewise, if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed with a diagnosis, or buried by information and advice, we know others have felt the same. That’s why we’ve put together a step-by-step visual guide to getting the most out of your medical appointments.

Whether you’re in the throes of dealing with a complex health condition or helping care for a loved one navigating something new, medical appointments can leave you stumped – and searching solo for more answers.  As part of our mission to help you feel health savvy and in control of your health journey, we have gone ahead and created a handy tool (and downloadable PDF) to help you get more out of your appointments.
