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
Explain that you haven’t been to a doctor in 10 years and that you need help prioritizing your concerns. That gives them the necessary context and still acknowledges their expertise so it doesn’t seem like you’re just insisting you have a bunch of things that need diagnosed for you to be satisfied. It also makes the work more bite sized and they can help you decide how to schedule what when and what needs a referral and all that.
