You need this book because you’re busy and your doctor is busy.
Whether you spend an hour with your concierge physician or five minutes with a physician’s assistant at a busy urgent care clinic, this book will help you make the most of your visit.
What is often overlooked is that doctors speak a foreign language. Sure, it may resemble your native tongue, but actually it is immersed in acronyms, Latin, medical jargon, idioms, and a cultural mind-set based on a template of problem solving called SOAP. (More on that later.) Don’t worry. Unless you’re already in the medical field, you don’t have to learn doctor-speak. That’s what this book is: a guide to helping you get the most out of your doctor visits with a minimum of misunderstanding and wasted time.
