美國尋醫指南之三 ---- 看醫生怎樣才能最有效?
遠方
當我們有了問題或者做每年常規檢需要去看醫生時,一定要與醫生充分交流。醫生是醫療的專家,而你是最知道你自己的專家,只有兩者融洽結合,才能得到最好的醫療。在診治某一問題時,往往有不只一種選擇。通過與醫生的交流,你可以幫助醫生找出最適合於你的方案,你也會更有信心去完成診治方案。那麼如何與醫生充分交流,使看醫生達到最有效呢?下面介紹幾個要領。
看醫生的目的是什麼?
看醫生時,你要回答一些重要問題,這樣醫生可以和你一起制定出診療方案。在看醫生之前,自己做一些表格,可以有助於你主動與醫生合作, 使你在看醫生的有限時間裡達到最好的效果。要讓醫生看出你很在意自己,也作了充分的準備。這樣醫生會對你另眼相看的。

http://women.webmd.com/tc/making-the-most-of-your-appointment-overview
Many people are more satisfied with their health care if they share the responsibility with their health professionals. Your health professional is an expert on medical care, but you are the expert on yourself. Often there is more than one option for diagnosing or treating a condition. By being a partner with your health professional, you can help choose the option that best fits your values, beliefs, and lifestyle. You also will feel more confident about carrying out the chosen treatment.
Here are some tips for being a good partner with your health professional:
During your appointment, you will need to answer some important questions so that you and your health professional can plan your care together. Completing the appropriate forms before the appointment helps you provide correct and complete information, take an active role in your health care decisions, and make the most of your limited appointment time.
Choose the form that best describes your reason for seeing the health professional.

Do you take medicines?
If you take prescription or nonprescription medicines, including herbal remedies or vitamins, bring all your medicines with you to any appointment with a health professional. If you cannot bring the medicines, bring a list of the medicines that you take(What is a PDF document?) .
What other forms might be helpful?If you and your health professional are going to discuss a new medicine, medical test, surgery, or special treatment, choose a form from the following list. Then fill in your information, and take the form with you to your visit. Completing the form will help you understand the importance of the treatment your health professional is advising for your health condition. If you do not have the form at the time of your visit, complete the form at home after the visit.
Also, bring a copy of your health plan's list of covered prescription drugs-also known as a formulary.
What do you need to do after the appointment?Update the medical records that you keep at home. For more information, see the topic Home Medical Records.
