Is it common/better for patients to refer to list of questions when seeing a doctor? do your patients look at their phone/paper notes?

Questions: We see a lot of patients who bring list it can be omg for us this could be trouble but most of the time a lot of stuff all relate to each other. Many patients just want to do a data dump on us I usually prefer to see the list and go over it myself first and then take the exam from there it make sure it easier for patient and I but if you do have a list bring it long.
