Summarise What a Medical Consultation Actually Told You

The appointment was short and the doctor spoke quickly. You left with a prescription or a referral and a list of things you forgot to ask. This summarises what was actually communicated, what you are being asked to do, what the follow-up plan is, and the questions to take to the next appointment.
