Recently, The Arthritis & Infusion Center posted Part I of the Top Ten (10) Questions you should know when you go to visit your doctor. In this second edition, we’ll look at other information you need to consider.
As the most tenured Rheumatologist in Bay County, Dr. Hulon Crayton has always made it a point to a) educate his patients as to their various conditions, and b) encouraged them to be active participants in their treatment plan. More importantly, one of Dr. Crayton’s gifts is to really listen to what his patients are saying, which helps him with an accurate diagnosis. According to the US Department of Health & Human Services, the next set of questions you should ask Dr. Crayton include:
- What are the possible complications to this procedure?
- Which hospital do you recommend should I need additional care?
- How do you spell the name of the drug you are prescribing?
- Are there any side effects to this medication?
- Will this medicine interact with medicines I’m already taking?
In addition to these suggestions, The Arthritis & Infusion Center has compiled an article about how important it is to bring all your medications to your firstappointment with Dr. Crayton.
