My Dr pushed me very, very hard and only gave in after I told her I supposed it was time we parted ways. Because she pushed, I refused to go in and play the mask game when I got covid. I ended up spending 17 days in ICU. When next I saw her she said "I knew you must be very sick when I got notified". She knew she was wrong and except for that one episode she has been great for years. She has learned that I trust but verify everything she recommends. I do not consider her a God and she doesn't consider me stupid. Its our job to be informed. Her job to present us with options.
