USE YOUR “B.R.A.I.N.” - HOW TO CLEARLY COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER:

If you’re like me, you may feel a little overwhelmed when you have to go into the doctor, knowing that you will likely only have a short time to explain your concern(s), and then he or she will only have a moment to access their wealth of knowledge and experience to make a suggestion that might help you:  I/E - medication, surgery, psychotherapy, exercise, etc…
