I feel patients can and must play an active role in making sure they get the best medical care. Sadly most patients are still very passive and are happy to leave everything up to the doctor. They are scared to ask questions because they underestimate their ability to make sense of medical care. This can be dangerous especially when things aren t going well and you need to learn to speak up by being aware and well-informed. After all if you won t look after yourself then who will?
