Health Tips

10 Tips for a Healthful Partnership with your Family Physician 1. Be a partner with your doctor to prevent problems and work together until problems are resolved. 2. Give your complete health history. Tell your doctor everything about your health, even though it may not seem important. 3.

Talk to your doctor if you want to make changes. 5. Take a written list of questions to discuss with your family doctor. 6. Ask questions when you don't understand a symptom, illness, or treatment. 7. Ask for materials that will further explain what your doctor tells you. 8. Work together to find a healthful diet and exercise plan that you can live with. 9. Have regular checkups and tests that your doctor feels are right for you. 10. Take good care of your body and follow your doctor's advice.  You'll be ahead of the game if problems do arise.
