Jyl,
I always feel an urge to put a cheerful spin on things with my doctor. To counter that I've started spending a little time before each appointment rehearsing what I need to say. Usually I now manage to say some of it.
I don't see it as a childish desire to please an authority figure. I think it's normal to want to make someone feel good about their work especially when that work is trying to help you.
