>If you don't know that already, it's time you learned.< Okay Cobalt, here's where I'm coming from. Let's say I'm in the urgent care clinic and my doc just gave me that advice - over the phone, no less. I'm experiencing chest pain. Now the following is real important to me. I do not want to be put in a situation where I need to Monday morning quarterback the doc in order to survive. What are my options? I see the relationship between doctor and patient as the same as between contractor and customer. On the one hand, the doctor is a skilled professional. Otoh, the Customer is Always Right. How to reconcile the two and protect the anxious, pain-bearing patient from having to do all the thinking? Why is it anything less than criminal for the doctor to be let off the hook here?
