Heh heh. Just slightly off-topic because this was a lawyer speaking rather than a doctor, but when I told him I had looked up my case online, he said, "You know what? Why doesn't everyone just take the internet and shove it up their a**?!"
It just reinforces the attitudes some professionals have toward their patients being self-educated and informed. I switched to another lawyer who thought looking up my case progress on-line was a smart idea.
Some people are afraid to change doctors or lawyers. I changed obstetricians mid-pregnancy and a friend gasped, "WHAT? You CHANGED doctors?" I do it without a second thought. These kind of professionals are working for you and you should be satisfied. Mutual trust should be there or the relationship should be re-evaluated.
