In general...
Doctors only hear about 25% of what patients tell them (usually because they're going through possibilities in their minds).
Patients only hear about 50% of what doctors tell them (usually because they're sick/upset/have no clue what the doctor's saying).
If we know that, then one way of looking at it is that if they're not listening, or we're not getting their attention, 75% of the burden is on us to be heard/paid attention to.
