What to do with it before your visit

  1. Start the Symptom Log tonight. Two weeks of entries is plenty. You need the shape of the pattern, not a perfect record.
  2. Fill in the Priority Grid the night before. Pick one or two things to lead with, and say them out loud in the first minute.
  3. Bring the exam-room page in with you. Read the opening line as written. It sets the agenda in one breath.
  4. If you're dismissed, push once, then use the red-flags page to decide whether this is your person.
