Let’s face it, no one is perfect. This even applies to doctors. This is why it’s so important to keep an open line of communication with your doctor. Especially when you are being prescribed a new medication. We trust our doctors, so when they tell us to take a new medication, we listen. Studies show doctors spend less than 20 seconds talking about side effects of new medications. Some doctors won’t even discuss side effects at all! However, you should be sure to ask a list of questions before leaving your doctor’s office. Remember, its the doctor’s job to make sure you feel safe and comfortable with his directions. Always remember to ask questions. Your doctor will be glad you did!
The Questions
