In thd first place, catch your doctor, an'd be sure he' is. a . real Irbably. there are two spuriuus ones ' holding forth un der this title for .every bona fide M. D. In praetico ,'r bo voil had lietter - be careful aliut that Toll ihft i -U.K. i - lilm a ready made dluKnoslw, and Jbn't try to I'mprcwH him with your coiumund tif medical terms. Use youi own words to 'doacribe your trouble,' no matter how homely or .unfamiliar you' may think your words will seem to the doctor. Call a spade a spade in the secrecy of the consulting room; it muy pre vent mistakes. Never beK'n.by saying, "Doctor, J am in a run down condition," or f'My nerves arc all shot," or "I'd like a sood, tonic'.' it Is a sore .temptation to a busy doctor to let it ko at that, since you. seem tso dumb. What has .really , brought you to the doctor? Tell him that. .Leave ft to the doctoc.to decide Whether your nerves nro shot or whether your condition requires a tonle -whatever that may. be. From my own years pC practice 1 think a good tonic Is something the doctor prescribes for you when lie hasn't the foulest notion just what if anythlnp, does ail you. . : Kvery '. Interview should com mcmec with a simple statement by the patient of his present eom plrtlnt. ilavlnr told "tbe1 doctor that, the patient properly pauses to draw breath, and then the doc tor may intelligently put any ques tions he thinks pertinent. . Home patients approach the physician with a notion that they mo not going to let. him pump then.. It Is such simple minded bromlds that delight in unburden ing themselves to a bit of smart repartee, thus: The lackwit enters tho consulting room, accepts , a chair and sits there grinning va cantly Instead of stating his com plaint. Finally the doctor tries to draw the visitor out. "VThat seems to be the trouble today?" and then comes the snappy rejoinder: "That's just what I want you to tell mo, doelor." Such patients should be taxed a premium fut' wasting the doctor's time..., , If you are not certain you un derstand any word or term the doctor uses iii thet coursw of the Intei'viPw, ho matter how simple it may seem, do not hesitate to in terrupt him attd ask him to explain what it means; ho will have much morn respect for yoiir intelligence than he would if you attempted to bluff about such a thing. No ono racll7.es more than the good doctor himself how difficult it Is fur him to express his thoughts in language without technical ifhfuseatlon. As a matter of fact, the greater the doctor's erudition tho less ho re softs to that quaint trick in his conversation with patients.
