Well come on, they don¹t just fear litigation, they don¹t want their

patients to suddenly die unnecessarily either.

Good medical care is a cooperative venture. I get as irritated at medical

personnel as the next one, but by and large they do have our welfare at

heart (and if your doctor doesn¹t, fire him or her and get one who does!).

The best doctor and nurse in the world cannot produce good care without

patient cooperation. That means, tell them what¹s up, what other meds you

are taking, what other conditions you can think of which might affect your

situation, take prescribed medication as prescribed, do rehab as instructed,

all that. If you disagree with some recommendation, say so, and explain

why. As talented as these people are, they cannot read minds. Nor are they

omnipotent. The best outcomes result when everyone works together.
