When it comes time for you to lend a helping hand, here is a list of questions to ask when visiting a doctor.
- Does this diagnosis put any restrictions on my loved one?
- As a caregiver, how can I best help my loved one?
- Are there any resources available for the medications my loved one is taking?
- What's the plan of treatment from here?
- What happens if the diagnosis gets worse?
- Are there foods or exercises he/she should avoid?
- Can you provide a copy of his/her medical records?
- How can I reach you for further questions?
