> Then you really need to ask her that, don't you? I know it can be uncomfortable to ask questions of any doctor. I think it may be even harder when it's a doctor you've seen for years and never questioned before, but it's something you have to do when you don't understand something. Do you worry that she will resent it?
>No, I don't worry that she will resent it. She won't get angry if I question her. I just never seem to think of asking questions. I'm just very trusting in general and I kind of like this paternalistic arrangement we have. I'm fully aware that I can take a more active role in my care if I so choose, but I just prefer this arrangement. I'm sure she'd be fine if I suddenly wanted to be an empowered patient or something. I just like trusting her and letting her make all the decisions. I think it's working out just fine.
