Talking with Your Doctor

The information provided in the booklet "Talking with your Doctor" was developed by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, to help older people communicate successfully with their doctors. While it mainly applies to talking with your primary care physician in the office setting, many of the same principles apply in the hospital. In addition, the section on Pg. 19 applies to what to do if you are hospitalized.
