Getting Help with Health Information

Here's a free source for some health information. You might find it interesting that when a patient leaves the doctor's office they forget anywhere from 40-80% of the information the doctor has given them.

One reason is that you may not have actually understood what the doctor told you. Getting a health care advocate in this case would be wise. The other reason is that we can't retain all of the information we are given.

So here is a quick resource to give you a little help. It's free, so check it out. They are cards to help you know what to ask your physician. Click here to order a free set. When you get to the site, click on the box in the middle of the page that says "health tips what you can do". This will take you to the page where you can order a free set of cards.
