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.

At this stage of my life, I DO NOT have to question my doctors. I know what I have and I know what tests must be done periodically. All this knowledge came from questioning my doctors and having them tell me. Of course I have checked many reliable medical websites for confirmation. If you don't trust your doctors, you have a choice, find another.
