Talk to the Doc

Healthy aging expert and Extension associate professor Sharon Johnson says to heed the advice found at www.AskMe3.org when you visit your doctor. Ask yourself:
* What is my main problem?
* What do I need to do?
* Why is it important for me to do this?
Sharon also suggests that you make a list of your health concerns to discuss during your appointment with the most important ones first to be absolutely sure they get addressed. It’s also helpful to take a friend or family member with you to your doctor visit for an extra pair of ears.
