Prepare questions for a doctor's appointment
When to use it: Before an appointment, so you remember everything and get the most out of a short visit.
Not medical advice. General wellness information, not medical advice. Check with your doctor before changing exercise, diet, sleep aids or medicines, and never stop a prescribed medicine on an AI's suggestion.

I have an appointment with my [TYPE OF DOCTOR] about [REASON FOR VISIT]. - What I've noticed (and since when): [SYMPTOMS OR CONCERNS] - Current medicines and supplements: [LIST, OR 'NONE'] - What worries me most: [YOUR BIGGEST QUESTION] Give me: a short summary I can read to the doctor in under one minute, the 5-7 most useful questions to ask, and what to write down during the visit. Keep it in plain English.
