 How to Make the Most of Your Doctor
It's very helpful to build up a rapport with the staff (the receptionist, a nurse or an assistant), which can prove very useful when you need to talk to the doctor on a priority basis.
For example, rather than just saying, 'I don't feel well, or I've got the flu,' which can be interpreted in different ways, be prepared to describe your symptoms precisely; for instance, fever, sore throat, cough, and/or body ache.
For an infertile couple, the doctor-patient relationship is the ultimate one-to-one relationship, in which you confide fully in your doctor and trust him to help you to conceive.
