That's not only a patient's right, it's a patient's *duty*, especially in a situation like this, when something in your gut tells you that what's been prescribed to you is wrong with a capital W.

>Absolutely warranted. With how learned and professional our doctors seem to be, it's easy to forget that WE are the patient; our needs are what ultimately matter the most, hands down. If your pdoc suffers from an easily bruised ego after this, that should ring loud warning bells.
