I figure it’s probably ridiculous to go be seen for one thing at a time but also probably ridiculous to come to a doctor with a huge list of shit you think is wrong with you (while also potentially framing the doctor’s view of you as prone to hypochondriasis), so like, i guess the thing to do is make a list and like, see how many of the more urgent things you can discuss in a reasonable time frame? Or is this what “a physical” is for, you get that instead of or prior to mentioning specific concerns?
I haven’t seen a doctor in like 10 years so idk how to be a normal person about it
just tell em it’s been years and they’ll understand having a list of aches and pains, a general practitioner’s job is to help sort and prioritize that shit and to know where the specialists are
What’s a physical for then? It was my partner’s suggestion. I could be asking google i guess but i call it the lying machine for a reason, lol
your medical records are ten years out of date, they gotta know your vitals somehow
