What can I talk about with my healthcare provider?

You can and should talk with your provider (or the nurse) about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Sometimes your provider will ask questions about school, your friends, and family members. Sometimes your provider will ask you personal things like how you’re feeling or what you like to do in your free time.

The more your provider knows about you, the better he or she is able to answer your questions or concerns.
