Oh ya, been there done that.
One dr had his nurse call me and tell me I should find a new dr as I am to into self diagnosis perhaps I would find a better suitable dr.
oh well.
NEXT.
I agree, there is a right way and wrong way to approach them, but in the end, I refuse to accept any stupid drug they want to push on me because its the new hip drug or he gets a kick back. Nobody cares more about me than me and I have learned to stand up for myself. But you are right, it takes a special dr to tolerate people who have an opinion and desire to be involved in their health care.
They are out there, look till you find one. I love my current dr, but then, that's cuz he realized I know more them him

kidding
