One of the most important parts of good health care is talking to your doctor. A key to good communication is asking questions. Talking about your health means sharing information about how you feel. You don’t have to be nervous or uncomfortable discussing sensitive issues because doctors, physician assistants, nurses and pharmacists make up your health care team.
Older adults report having at least one chronic medical condition, but many have multiple conditions, including hypertension, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Making sure you understand your diagnosis and treatment starts with finding a physician who cares and a pharmacy that pays attention.
