My wife and I are our health advocates, including for each other. It's important to do some online research and then discuss with the doc. Knowing that online information is "general" and does not apply to specific cases, we use it as a starting point for our discussions. If you don't ask the questions, or question the treatment you are giving up control....not something either of us want to do. Of course the downside is that if you refuse to see a recommended specialist, not follow the docs plan of treatment.....when things go south you don't get a do over.
