Which really wouldn't accomplish anything. I know this isn't major surgery, but what if I were proposing to do major surgery and the patient said, "sure, sure, just give me the form and let me sign it so we can get on with things"?

THis is the reason for your quiz, yes? So this doesn't happen.I liked the quiz idea. It's good to double check myself and this quiz helped me to understand the point of psychobabble which I think sometimes gets lost in the conversation.
Perhaps the ones who have such a problem with the quiz are the ones that should be monitored and checked?
I really don't see the big deal here. It's only 10 questions and if you read the information, the questions are easy. Plus, you can go back and back and back again to get it right. What is the problem here people?? Why is this such a tempest in a teacup??
Maybe I'm just too canadian.....but I say Well done Doc! Good idea. Leave it the way it is. You can't please all the people all the time and if you keep trying, you'll end up on the "poster" side of this board, not the doctor side. :)
