Translate a Medical Diagnosis Into Questions for Your GP

You have a diagnosis or a new concern and a short GP appointment where your mind will go blank. This generates six to eight specific questions covering what it means, the treatment options, what to watch for and what happens next. Good if you always leave wishing you had asked one more thing. You walk in with the right questions written down.
