Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might give us? This
fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by Utrecht University. What is even
more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember is wrong.
Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going to the doctor fills
most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more likely to focus on the
diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with us but have no idea what to do
about it.
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any important information.
What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your consultation. This way, you can replay the
advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it. If you believe the situation is serious or you’re really
worried, seek the help of a family member. Just ask them to accompany you to listen in. This way you can be
absolutely sure about what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most people do.
