Doctor visit cheat sheet
What do I
say?
Simple words and questions for clearer conversations with your doctor.
From licensed RNs
When the conversation stalls
You’re explaining what’s going on. But the conversation still isn’t going anywhere.
You tell your doctor what’s been going on. They ask a few questions. Maybe they order labs, tell you everything looks normal, or say let’s wait and see.
And you’re sitting there thinking:
- Okay... but what does that mean?
- What are we looking for?
- Does this explain what I’ve been feeling?
- What happens if the labs are normal?
- What am I supposed to do if this keeps happening?
You’re not trying to tell your doctor how to do their job. You just want a real conversation about what’s happening with your body.
That’s what this cheat sheet is for. It’s not a script. It’s the words and questions that help you explain what you’re feeling, understand how your doctor is thinking, and get clear on what happens next.

You don’t have to be your own doctor.
You don’t need all the medical terms or everything figured out before your appointment. You just need a better way to tell your story... and to get the clarity you need from the conversation.
