Map Your Family Healthcare History
Your GP asks if heart disease runs in the family and you honestly do not know. This walks you through building a three-generation health map: who to ask, what to record, which patterns matter, and how to hand it over as one page a doctor can actually use. Covers adoption and estranged families too.
