Points taken. Doing your research is essential but carefully consider your sources and tactfully ask your questions and gther information. Most Dr.s and PA's will take the time to answer your questions. If they don't then move on if your healthcare plan allows. If your concerned about potentially conflicting information then respectfully move on. I think the number of successful surgeries and care plans greatly out weight the unsuccessful. I guess I'm a bit narrow in focus as I work at a tertiary care facility. By the time the pt gets to me they've seen one or two other physicians. In my mind if the refering physician has confidence in our institution then that should lend itself to the pt's confidence in our institution. Getting back to the original point of the thread; make sure your intentions are truly info seeking. Some of my most humble patients are physicians.
