ROCHESTER — A recently released book about the questions patients should ask their doctors was written by a local doctor and physician’s assistant.
The Top 5 Questions to Ask your Doctor gives readers the important questions they should ask their doctors about various medical conditions, according to www.top5questions.net. The authors, Jim Sutton and Dr. Sagar Nigwekar, categorize the questions by those conditions for reference. The questions were submitted and reviewed by hundreds of doctors, specialists, nurses, medical students and patients.
