Your first appointment is always very critical. An assessment of your medical condition is done and the most appropriate treatment plan is devised. More than the availability of your past medical records, it is the accurate communication of your current ailment that is crucial. Hence during the appointment please ensure that either you are in a position to accurately describe the situation or else you have someone accompany you to do so. Also carry the following
- A list of your medicines: Carry any doctor prescriptions that you are currently taking. Also carry any X-Ray and results of any other diagnostic procedures done recently.
- Family Medical History: Be aware of your family history – on the sides of both parents – and let your doctor know.
- Your Medical History: It’s always good to maintain your medical records neatly and chronologically in a file. You should carry that file during the appointments (especially the first one)
