One page for the doctor.
Prepare over the week before, hand a copy over at the start, keep one for the follow-up.
Consultations are short and memory is unreliable on a bad day. A single well-ordered page carries more than twenty minutes of talking.
What it helps you do
- Lead with the three things that matter most
- Show how symptoms limit daily life, not just that they exist
- Give the clinician your medication list without being asked
- Leave with the plan written down

Questions
Should I really hand this to my doctor?
Yes, most clinicians welcome a short, ordered summary. It saves time and means the important points are covered even if you tire or lose your thread.
What if I have more than three concerns?
List them elsewhere and bring the sheet for the next visit. Three ordered priorities are more likely to be addressed properly than eight competing ones.
Can I use it for a new specialist?
Yes. Pair it with the symptom tracker or flare log so the specialist sees the pattern, not just the summary.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a preparation tool. Decisions about tests and treatment belong in the conversation with your clinician.
