If the doctor suggests treatment, ask:
- What are my treatment options?
- What do you recommend?
- Is the treatment painful?
- How can the pain be controlled?
- What are the benefits and risks of this treatment?
- How much does this treatment cost?
- Will my health insurance cover the treatment?
- What are the expected results?
- When will I see results from the treatment?
- What are the chances the treatment will work?
- Are there any side effects?
- What can be done about them?
- How soon do I need to make a decision about treatment?
- What happens if I choose to have no treatment at all?
