You misunderstand me. I don't think I know better than doctors. Far from it. What I want from a doctor is information and informed choice, not a gatekeeper who makes decisions for me. As a group, physicians have been slow to adopt the patient-centered informed choice mentality that, for example, nurse practitioners and midwives have more thoroughly adopted.

The fact that you've doubled down here on calling patients idiots for being somewhat distrustful of the typical arrogant physician attitude confirms what I'm saying.
