[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. Why do people keep referring to the OP as a "doctor"?

She's a speech therapist. Many of us wouldn't even consider that to be a medical professional. It's basically a glorified teacher. Actually, I have a lot more respect for actual teachers.

Anyway, I'm late 30s, highly educated, and I think for myself too. Couldn't care less if doctors think I'm "difficult". Guess it's lucky for all involved that we choose to live a very healthy lifestyle and so don't have much need for them anyway.[/quote]

Some of us live a healthy lifestyle yet still have to contend with chronic diseases. I am also educated but recognize and appreciate the fact that my specialists understand my disease in ways I never will (I am not a medical professional).

Sure, I advocate for myself and do my own research but I would never pretend to be as knowledgeable as my rheumatologist. That's just ignorance.

I can only assume many of the people who think they know more than their doctors haven't had to deal with a major or long term health issue. Check your privilege.[/quote]
