I totally agree with you. My GP is someone who listens, offers advice and is willing to discuss options. I NEVER blindly do what any doctor tells me without discussion, explanation and my own research. Same for medication - I want the whole story from the doctor, the pharmacist and sometimes Google.

Doctors are human just like the rest of us and as a friend likes to say: remember, half of them graduated in the bottom half of their class. (although I expect/hope that med school has pretty high standards)
