Conversations You Should be Having With Your Doctor - and How to Have Them

• I can never remember my aches and pains when I’m with my doctor and only remember them once I’m home. What should I do?
• I’m too embarrassed to talk about certain areas of my body with my doctor, how do I overcome this?
• Should I talk to my medical doctor only about issues concerning my physical health?  Why is mental health and sadness so important to mention?
• From a healthcare provider standpoint, what are the top things you want to know about your patients? Does this differ by age? Does it differ by illness?
