Dear MD rap,
Describe your communication problem in your own
language.
e.g.: I have little confidence that my doctor really hears what I say.
So over the years I have adjusted to this by getting
3 or 4 different doctors’ opinions
on a medical problem, just to see how it’s different
from the other doctors.
List the contributing factors to your communication
problem.
e.g.: I am a nervous person
and have a need for order in my life. If I do not finish
a task right away I become agitated and anxious.
Detail the consequences of your communication
problem.
e.g.: Over the years I have
suffered heartache from a couple of failed relationships
and wonder if this is from my anxiousness and lack of
confidence in what the other person tells me. Also, I
can not keep a regular medical doctor.
Express how your communication problem affects
you.
e.g.: I lose my temper usually
once per week especially if I am tired. I like to say
what is on my mind but sometimes I become impatient if
the other person does not get what I am saying.
