I agree. I should amend that to EDUCATED (about medications) doctors should help put things in perspective by actively discussing the risk/benefit with the patient. There's usually no patient input asked at all.
I have been labelled a "problem parent" when I simply ask my daughter's pdoc about meds or suggesting that we revisit augmentation when I told him that monotherapy is not effective enough. We're about to "fire" that pdoc and find someone new.

If it is an attribute of healthy persondom to have full sexual function (it most certainly is not a trivial thing for me), then the doctor is practising a form of professional hypocrisy. Sanctioned professional hypocrisy.
