Doctors underestimate our intelligence/knowledge ?

Posted by ronaldo on November 18, 2006, at 7:58:00

It seems to me that lots of people have questions in this forum that could have been best answered by their own doctors who wrote the prescription or made the diagnosis. Personally I often find myself left with a lot of unanswered questions about five minutes after my appointment with the doctor ended. It seems I was too reluctant to take up some more of the doctors time; was too in awe of the doctor's expertise; underestimated my own intelligence and knowledge. It seems to me that we get short-changed by the medical profession. Maybe some patients have a much more constructive relationship with their doctors. What I would like to know is how to get the best out of the appointment with my doctor. Boards like this would not exist if we had better communication with our doctors.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I wish I knew more about agonists and antagoists and receptors and neurotransmitters etc...etc...etc...
