What's Up Doc?: How to Get Your Doctor to Really Listen to You

You need this book because you’re busy and your doctor is busy.
Whether you spend an hour with your concierge physician or five minutes with a physician’s assistant at a busy urgent care clinic, this book will help you make the most of your visit.
What is often overlooked is that doctors speak a foreign language. Sure, it may resemble your native tongue, but actually it is immersed in acronyms, Latin, medical jargon, idioms, and a cultural mind-set based on a template of problem solving called SOAP. (More on that later.) Don’t worry. Unless you’re already in the medical field, you don’t have to learn doctor-speak. That’s what this book is: a guide to helping you get the most out of your doctor visits with a minimum of misunderstanding and wasted time.
