I provide a 1-page info sheet (that I keep on my computer, and adjust as necessary). Doctors and nurses love this. You make a copy for yourself and one for the dr. and you can both look at it together. Just be sure to keep the date current.
Here is my template. (Adjust your page layout so it all can be printed on one page. 10pt font works, and you need to highlight the headings.) Just copy and past this template and fill in your info!
