Ask questions. It’s important to ask probing questions about the diagnosis you’re given and why other conditions were ruled out. For example, if bad headaches bring you in and your doctor diagnoses you with cluster headaches, ask why that’s the case and why it’s not a migraine. “What you’re looking for is a reasonable set of answers to those questions,” Newman-Toker says. “You’re looking for a thoughtful explanation, not defensiveness.” 3. Follow up. Finally, keep track of your progress after a treatment plan is prescribed, and stay in touch with your doctor if things don’t get better. If symptoms persist, it’s common for a patient to assume that the treatment is to blame, not the diagnosis, Newman-Toker says. And if the patient calls the doctor’s office and asks for a medication change or a higher dose, “the doctor won’t rethink the case.” To get a second look, call the doctor and say, “I’m not getting better. Are we sure that I’ve got the right diagnosis?” “I think people don’t realize how important patients’ voices are in a diagnostic process,” adds Singh, who is also a coauthor on the latest JAMA study. “Because it really helps us not only make the original diagnosis … but also to question the diagnosis later if things don’t get better.” Flowers & Gifts Proflowers 25% off sitewide and 30% off select items View Details See All Benefits See more Flowers & Gifts offers > {"hideCategory":false,"useAlternateLanguage":false,"headlineIconAltText":"","listItems":[{"categoryTitle":"Flowers u0026 Gifts","categoryUrl":"/benefits-discounts/?categoryu003dshoppingandgroceries-flowersandgifts","categoryDeeplinkParam":"shoppingandgroceries-flowersandgifts","isLimitedTimeOffer":false,"offerJson":{"offer_id":"","offer_title":"25% Off Flowers, Plants u0026 Gifts","offer_short_title":"","offer_short_description":"25% off sitewide and 30% off select items","featured_offer":"","last_updated_by":"","offer_description":"u003cpu003eAs an AARP member, you automatically save 25% sitewide or you can save 30% on select items with promo code AARP30.
