    Tip of the day: Bring a buddy to the doctor

    Consumer Reports News: March 06, 2009 10:33 AM

    Older people who bring a friend or relative to the doctor with them report greater satisfaction with their medical care, according to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The more active the companion is in asking questions, writing instructions, scheduling appointments, or helping with transportation, the more favorable the patients' experience. Talk with your companion ahead of time about the help you want.
