How to Talk to a Doctor
It’s one of the saddest situations in modern medicine: The average doctor’s appointment lasts 15 minutes or less.
1 That doesn’t leave much time for chatting about the weather or your mood
What you don’t realize but what I see, very clearly as a doctor is that what the patient says is more important than ever.
2 They can also make it much harder for me to figure out what’s wrong with you.
Medical schools teach a specific way to conduct an office visit. Part one is the complaint.
3 Part two in the physical exam. And part three is when the doctor gives you a diagnosis and prescriptions or a treatment. Chances are, you focus on part three, but the patients who receive the best care are those who master part one. The key is to describe in detail what you’ve been feeling not just “bad,” but what kind of bad, for how long, and after what kind of activity.
4 Even though I’ve been a doctor for many years, I tend to be a little nervous when I’m the one sitting on the exam table. If I haven’t prepared, I lose track of the details I intended to share.
5 When the doctor asks you questions, you can be more specific, and the diagnosis and treatment will be more accurate. And there may be a few minutes left over for a little pleasant conversation!

【文章大意】如何与医生交谈
这是现代医学中最可悲的情况之一：医生的平均预约时间不超过 15 分钟。难怪你会感到匆忙。没有太多时间聊天气或心情。
你没有意识到，但我作为一名医生看得非常清楚的是，病人所说的比以往任何时候都更重要。其实你的描述可以让我给你很大的帮助，也可以让我更难弄清楚你有什么问题。
医学院教授一种进行办公室访问的特定方法。第一部分是疾病陈述。它也被称为你的问题描述。第二部分是体检。第三部分是医生给你诊断和处方或治疗。很有可能，你专注于第三部分，但获得最佳护理的患者是掌握第一部分的患者。关键是要详细描述你的感受，不仅仅是“糟糕”，而是什么样的糟糕，持续了多长时间，以及在什么样的活动之后。
当然，说起来容易做起来难。尽管我已经当了很多年的医生，但当我坐在考试桌上时，我还是会有点紧张。如果我没有准备好，我就会忘记我打算分享的细节。所以我会花几分钟写下一些重要的细节。当医生问你问题时，你可以更具体，诊断和治疗也会更准确。可能还有几分钟的时间进行愉快的交谈！
