Talking to your doctor - a tip

Yesterday one of the callers, Steve was his name, buried the lead.  He asked me about several symptoms and as I was wrapping up dropped a bomb.  He was three weeks post major heart surgery.  This changed everything.  And I mean everything.  All of a sudden his symptoms including night sweats had all kinds of other possibilities totally different than what we had talked about.  The reason I bring this up today is simple.  What you tell your doctor in the first few minutes of any consult dictates everything.  It’s never the time to hold juicy information back.  You will lead him down the wrong path much to the detriment of your own health.  Not a good idea.  Don’t do it.  Never do it.
