ABSTRACT
An acquaintance who is a prominent medical sociologist specializing in communications between physicians and patients made a suggestion that also applies to communications between students and committee members. He recommends putting your physical complaints and questions in writing and taking them with you to your visit with your physician. With this written material, you won’t forget to describe all your symptoms and ask all your questions. In addition, a busy physician will find it hard to rush you out of the office if you have unanswered written questions.
