How to build prep questions

Last updated: 2026-09-12 · Author: Endonem

Ten minutes you waited months for, used well.

Building prep questions means turning your own record into up to three questions for one appointment. Each question grows from dated entries rather than worry, so the visit opens on evidence. The pack has to work one-handed in a waiting room with ten minutes of nerves. Three short lines fit the time you are actually given.

1. 1. Pick the three that matter most

   Open the prep pack and choose up to three questions built from your own record. Rank them so the first one survives even if time runs short. One of them can read: Will you refer me to an endometriosis specialist centre, rather than general gynaecology. Keep each question to a single sentence.

   

2. 2. Tie each question to entries

   Anchor every question to the entries behind it, with dates and counts quoted beside the ask. The report holds the pain summary and the timeline those anchors come from. A question with a date behind it reads differently from a worry alone. Your clinician can then answer from the same page.

3. 3. Rehearse one-handed

   Check the pack is usable in a waiting room, one-handed, with ten minutes of nerves. Read the three lines aloud once and trim words until each fits one breath. Large type and short lines survive shaky hands. The phone stays in your palm until your name is called.

4. 4. Close the loop afterwards

   After the visit, file what was decided beside the questions that prompted it. Appointments, prep packs and what was decided live together, so the next appointment starts where the last one ended. Note the date of any follow-up. The record then carries the whole arc, not just the ask.
