It is a partnership in the sense that each of our different intelligences are brought to bear on The Problem. . .and neither contribution receives less respect, despite the inherent power imbalance of the doctor-patient relationship. I am very, very fortunate to have a pdoc who is utterly respectful and gracious whilst knowledgeable as all hell. . .Why, I believe he even knows Dr.Bob! [insert ironic emoticon.]Zo -
Your first post was quite clear and I was glad you jumped in with some rationality. I had gotten myself a little further out on a ledge than I wanted to go. I was only nitpicking the choice of words because I am still resentful of some condescending, patronizing doctors I dealt with years ago. Hopefully, they are long since retired.
