What do I
say?
Simple words and questions for clearer conversations with your doctor.
FREE GUIDEWhen the conversation stalls
You’re explaining what’s going on. But the conversation still isn’t going anywhere.
You tell your doctor what you’ve been experiencing. They ask a few questions. Maybe they order labs, tell you everything looks normal, or recommend waiting to see what happens.
And you’re left thinking:
- Okay… but what does that mean?
- What are we looking for?
- Does this explain what I’ve been feeling?
- What happens if the labs are normal?
- What am I supposed to do if this keeps happening?
You’re not trying to tell your doctor how to do their job. You just want to get beyond the surface-level exchange and have a real conversation about what’s happening with your health.
That’s why the WHAT DO I SAY? Doctor Visit Cheat Sheet isn’t just a list of things to say. The words and questions inside are designed to help you explain what you’re experiencing, understand your doctor’s thinking, and get clearer on what happens next.
