Be informed

Ever felt that your doctor is a God (or likes you to think he/she is!)and questioning him or her is equivalent to minor blasphemy or treason? That's how we're brought up but education is power - inform yourselves - your treatment will greatly benefit! That said, the internet is a fantastic tool but is full of pitfalls and traps so don't always believe the first article you read - double check before barging into the surgery clutching your print-outs. You'll need to be tactful as well...and sure of your facts...they still know a bit more than you!
