Yep, there are two sides of the coin. I've heard doctors complain that their patients don't want to take responsibility for their healthcare too. Although I do find more that prefer the doctrine that they know best. We need to choose healthcare practitioners that will partner with us – like yours has.

Thanks for this article. As a newly web, I considered all menopause blog, but ended up registering with http://8menopause.com/" rel=”nofollow”>http://8menopause.com. We all understand the struggle and confusion that women can experience as they go through menopause, and the importance of having good information for making healthy decisions. So, I believe people will enjoy reading this blog and found useful things. Thanks!

As we all knwo everyone`s body chemistry is different. To educate our selves along with our doctors should be our number one priority. Since menopause can being hard for some of us, Can`t stress enough about doing research, sistahs! Know that there are always those who can relate and be helpful as well. Again, kudos to Lynette!

We really are our own advocates. When seeing my doc for different issues, I always feel like she is shocked when I bring up a different point of view or ask a pointed question about her treatment recommendations. 50% of the time, these conversations lead to slightly different treatment options and even a completely different course of action (that is more holistically-based and I feel I can be at peace with). I agree with your post — research, research, research!

Hmmm – sounds like some ass-kicking is due to the medical society. And if we don't get collectively LOUD, their selective hearing may remain undisturbed.

we are our own best authority… and many physians are thought to ignore this idea… My doctor is not like that at all he actually came out and said If you aren't intrested in your best health why should I be?… We are in this thing together…. I have always had excellent repour wtith him I have had others with not such an open mind… Much more like Iam the Doctor That's why attitude… they Are not our mothers and we are not 4 they do not have our best intrest at heart … We actively need to let them know what we think and what we want not just accept thier word at face value…and leave the practice if they do not
