Making the Most of Your Medical Appointments
Many chronically ill and disabled people, especially people who also have other intersecting marginalized identities, have historically been underserved by the medical system. This looks like not being able to get in to see medical providers, financial barriers, not being believed, actively being told you’re wrong and so much more.
Unfortunately, using this guide will likely not impact the ableism, sexism, racism, classism and other societal inequalities that are perpetuated by the medical system and individual doctors.
What it can do is help you go into your appointments grounded, prepared and confident about what you need and how you want to work with your medical team to get the care you need.
This digital download includes a printable pdf with lines, a printable pdf without lines and a fillable pdf.
Note that only the first three pages are pictured here! This guide has 20 questions for before, during and after your appointment to help you confidently name and meet your goals.
