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.
