Charge Doctor
Not everyone wants to be a partner with their doctor. Maybe you don’t like to ask your doctor questions and you don’t want to share in any decisions. Would you rather just let your doctor tell you what is best for you? If that’s what you prefer, tell your doctor. Most doctors have a lot of patients who don’t want to be a partner. Let the doctor know what you expect.

Is it Time for a Change?
If you are unhappy with how your doctor treats you, it may be time for a change. Before you start looking for a new doctor, tell your current doctor how you would like to be treated. Your doctor would probably be pleased to work with you as a partner-if only you would tell him that’s what you want. Otherwise, he may think that you, like many of his patients, want him to do all the work.
