Discharge summaries and medical letters
Discharge letters, hospitalization summaries, and previous visit summaries.
Questions to ask
What the diagnosis is, what treatment options exist, the benefits and risks, and what to expect in follow-up.
What to expect during the consultation
A discussion of your medical background, a physical examination, a review of imaging, and an explanation of the diagnosis and options.
