Memory Q&As
 Dr. Jeanne Morrison, PhD | Q | How can I remember the questions I want to ask my doctor? |
| A | <p>Create a list of questions you want to ask your doctor prior to your visit. You can write those questions down and have them available when you speak with your doctor. New technology is increasing ways to help you recall your questions in preparation for your medical appointment. For example, the I-phone will allow you to write your questions conveniently on a “notes,” pad application. Also, the newer version of these phones, allows you to just speak your questions into a built-in microphone in the phone so that your questions are either recorded, or typed out for you on the phone’s “notepad.” It’s kind of like having a personal secretary in the palm of your hand, so your questions are at your fingertips.
