READIt would seem the work of doctors is easy enough when a patient is in their office and reporting their symptoms, but many have been the times when a critical piece of information resulted in the patient being misdiagnosed. There are few people who are comfortable going to the doctor, so there should be few of them able to recite each and every symptom from memory. Getting a good diagnosis of what the medical issue consists of does count on the doctor knowing as much as possible. For those unable to remember, or even the people who feel nervous, writing down a list of symptoms before leaving the house is an excellent idea.
Doctors are often given incomplete information, and it can result in unnecessary tests. It can be even worse when they arrive at an incorrect conclusion, and the patient’s condition could deteriorate because their illness is not being addressed. For these reasons, taking the time to ensure the doctor gets the correct information should be a top priority for every patient.
