Sometimes you have to be firm with your doctor and TELL them what you want done, or not done.
If it becomes a problem you may want to find a different doctor.

That is really awesome... What an inspiration.

Doctors must be managed.

It is VERY important for people to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR HEALTH, and not hand it off to a near-stranger. Today, many people have the idea that the medical industry has their best interests at heart, just as the believe that the talking heads on the alphabet-soup networks are telling the truth. Some doctors are trained to treat SYMPTOMS. They specialize in interpreting test results and writing prescriptions.

Lets say that this had ended up badly, which, statistically speaking, for a 90 year old, is probably what would have happened. These doctors would have had their pants sued off.

I am all for patients taking responsibility for their own care, but they also need to take responsibility for their decisions as well. Of course, when there are lawyers involved....

Doctor: Does it hurt when you do this?

Me: Yes.

Doctor: Then don't do that.

Guess I need to get glasses. When I glanced at the first sentence, I thought it said,

"The woman was 93 and still lap-dancing."

There are some good doctors out there, but they keep retiring or flat out won't deliver babies anymore :-( The effort to find them is just too much anymore.
