EP. 06 — The First Appointment in a New Country: How to Walk In Prepared

A new doctor has maybe fifteen minutes with you. They're not reading a decade of records in that window. They might scan the medication list, note the major diagnoses, and move on — and all the context that matters gets lost.
In this episode, James and Claire explain why bringing the documents isn't enough, and how a one-page medical summary can do more for your first appointment than a folder full of files. What goes on it, how to write the one sentence of context that changes how a doctor reads each diagnosis, and how to handle the parts that feel harder to include — like mental health history.
Prepare it before you move. It's work you do once, and it travels with you.
