TIPS For CHECKs
Feel the instruments and get comfortable
with them.
Ex: at the dentist, you’re weary of the suction
straw. If no plastic cups for rinsing, ask them
for some or, have them turn the suction on a
low setting and feel it with your finger before
they use it in your mouth. Perhaps they can put
something on if you don’t like the sucking noise.
See how you feel with the specific doctor.
Ex: Dr. A seems hurried and strict, but Dr.
B seems more empathetic. Or perhaps ask
if a nurse can be in the room with you to.
Try having the doctor teach you how much
you can do.
Ex: for a strep throat test, ask if you can swab
your own throat, even have them hold your hand
whilst you do it in a mirror. Or tell them the way
your throat’s structure may find it easier to tilt, etc.
