Health Information Worksheet

Make a sheet like this to bring to any new doctor you see.

 

  If you are seeing a new doctor or are referred to a specialist, this information will be very helpful to him or her. Also remember to tell your dentist what medications you are taking. Have any specialist you see send a report to your primary care doctor so a copy of all of your records will be in one place. Make sure you keep contact information for current doctors and information about medications you take on your person (in your wallet or purse) in case of an accident.
