Patient Empowerment in Medicine

Many medical professionals are often years behind in their reading; understandably they don't like empowered patients.

Some doctors don't like patients who challenge them. Such patients take time and make a doctor work hard. Most doctors want to be considered the authority - even if it kills you.

If you see annotations in your medical file - "patient is getting information from the internet" - it is probably time to move on for the sake of your health and wellness.
