I always take what they say as "their opinion" whether educated or not. If I don't feel I agree I will get a second OPINION....& a third if necessary. I do my own research before ever seeing them so I can talk intelligently with them. If they refuse to talk intelligently with me I will not go back. I experienced that with a pain specialust a year ago. I never went back. I expect to be treated as an intelligent person because I am & if they choose to disrespect that fact, I have no respect for them & can no longer continue seeing them.
