Why is it that rather than respect our decisions and judgement doctors feel they must repeat themselves over and over and over again with their opposing viewpoint(s)? Do they think we are stupid? Do they believe that they can wear us down? Do they assume that the longer we spend in their office in pain the more pliable we become?
Here is an example:
Doctor: Why don't you try this drug *****?
Patient: No, I'd rather not. I've read about the severe side effects and would rather deal with my current symptoms than with the side effects of that drug.
Doctor: But you really should try this drug.
Patient: No. I do not want to suffer from 3 trillion side effects.
Doctor: But you really should try this drug.
Doctor: But you really should try this drug.
Doctor: But you really should try this drug. (to infinity......)
Why is it that as soon as you become a patient that everyone assumes that your IQ has been decreased by half? Why?
