Teamwork

I had learned another lesson, an important one: You have the right to use a doctor who shows you respect and listens to your observations. You should feel comfortable teaching her what you know and learning from her expertise and experience. You should have confidence in her judgment not because she has a medical degree, but because you know her to be fair as well as responsible. You should be able to trust her not to ridicule your ideas and to give you all of the information you need to make intelligent decisions. If you cannot, then it is your responsiblitiy to find another doctor.
