Gracie - weigh in on this. I would like to hear your thoughts on when you go to the doctor if you are comfortable questioning the doctor's orders. My guess is you are.

If you question what the doctor orders, he/she will take it that you are questioning their competence. They don't like it and they will give you a quick/abrupt answer, at which time they will get up and walk to the exit. If you don't understand and you persist in questioning them, they will think of you as a trouble-maker. Many don't have time for questions and you would have to wrestle them to the ground as they run for the exit. When they start walking toward the door, that means the visit is over, period!!!
The only time it's different from what I described is when they have lots of time because they don't have enough patients. But in that case, I still don't think they welcome a lot of questions because it suggests you doubt their competence.
