Another in a series of articles on being a good patient. Not too much new but a good reminder, with my comments in brackets).
- Be honest
- Be on time (but bring a book, iPad or equivalent for the inevitable wait)
- Be nice
- Be informed (but do not pretend to know more than the doctor, focus on knowing enough to understand options and issues – this could also be written as ‘Be prepared’)
- Be patient
Is a good patient simply one who never complains or disagrees?.
