"It isn't the doctors place to decide how to treat."
Actually, I think that this is exactly what to the doctor is there to do. Obviously, a good doctor will listen to the patient and develop a treatment plan that suits the patient and one in which the patient is likely to be compliant.
"The doctor is there to guide the patient through the process and give the patient control of their medical situation."
This goes without saying I think, but I also think that it is incumbent on the patient to listen to the doctor's plan. IMO, we need to seek out doctors whose opinion and experience we trust. I think treatment should definately be a two way street.
Seldom.
