Telling your doctor the truth about what’s going on with your health now as well as your health history and habits is crucial communication.
Don’t fudge the truth about exercise or skip right over the supplements you take. Under-counting your cocktails? Although people want to put their best image forward for the doctor, these little (or big) lies can create problems for your health and affect the care you receive. Remember that if you want to get good health care, the value of the visit is only as good as the information you give your doctor.
