It makes sense to follow a doctor's advice if you understand what it is
that the doctor advises and why. Then it becomes your responsibility,
as a patient, to ask questions so that you can make a good decision for
yourself. All medical advice is not good just because it comes from a
doctor. Trust me on this one; or don't. Suit yourself.

I have plenty of opinions. I share them when it's appropriate and
sometimes when it isn't. Either way, don't confuse me with someone who
doesn't take a stand.
