Pleu, while not specifically a question, I always make sure to clear on what the next step is before leaving an appointment. I also use the "talk back" method to make sure I have understood something that I'm not sure of. This means repeating back in my own words what I think the doctor has said. This gives the doctor the opportunity to see if s/he didn't explain something thoroughly or if there is a gap in my understanding.
