Doctors and therapists experience illnesses, too.

Put yourself in the patients shoes just for a moment. If I disagree how do I state it civily? Is it civil to state "I am sorry but they are your doctors patients"??
That would be civil, but FYI, some nurses are authorized not only to give advice about medications, but to prescribe them...
