- A list of your medicines and their doses, with a letter from your doctor for any that are restricted
- The question you most want answered, written down
- The dates you are in the city, so your concierge can plan tests and results around them
When you are home again
Your doctor can follow up by telephone or video wherever you are, and your plan stays in your record. If you need care where you live, your concierge can help you find it and send your letters ahead, with your consent.
