I’ve, on many occasions, had to actually advise my doctor on what tests needs to be done (on me), or what meds I should be on. Needless to say, after my having to do this, I switched doctors. (Example: went for my yearly check-up a few years back. Dr. asks me why I was there. I responded, my yearly check-up. She said: Oh. OK. What’s wrong with you? I politely told her: aren’t you supposed to be the one telling me that after I have my physical, blood tests, etc. Her response? Blood tests? Yes Dr. – to check for things like high cholesterol, etc? Yearly check-up kind of things? Duh…….
