Good discussion. I guess I consider myself a "patient" of my PCP, but I definitely call the shots in the relationship. I get to ask her direct questions about my meds and make suggestions if I want to change anything, I have a policy of not knowing my exact weight (which is overweight but if I know the exact number I begin to obsess over it) and she respects that--she records my weight in my chart but doesn't tell me the number, just if it's gone up or down, she knows my style and makes referrals to specialists to whom she knows I'd respond well...

Good food for thought.

ETA: posted before I finished... I guess I am more of a "client" of my PCP then?
