And this seems to me the clearest, most helpful advice I've read on how to manage the doctor-patient relationship. There's so much talk about 'patient choice' and my immediate reaction is always, 'who wants choice, just tell me the cure!' but if you have to be put in the awful position of having to make your own choices, in a field in which you have no expertise, this set of guidelines seems good.

This is really helpful, thanks for the link. I agree this "patient choice" thing is enough to drive you crazy. (A bit like "education choice" but with Russian roulette thrown in). Like you, I feel I want the doctor just to say "OK, you have x, the cure is y". Sadly, that is all a bit too retro.
