I completely agree Suzy. If someone finds it easier to go along with what is being recommended that good for them too :)
We all have to do what feels right to us at the time.
Frankly I am in no way advocating 2nd and 3rd guessing everything that is said to us every time. Only that is one is not feeling 100% right about a situation they should speak up and never be affraid to do so.
I have specialists who i have known for many years now, been through 'Hell and high water' with who I trust implicitly to take my history into account without my being all nagging and asking 1000 questions and frankly with those guys I am.usally more than comfortable just go along with most of the time.
I just believe that when one is in a new situation it is important to remember they have the right to ask 'why' and never to be affraid of asking or even challenging if they are uneasy about something. They should not be affraid of standing out from the crowd as doctors and nurses are all human and while sometimes they may see us as 'just another case / job' speaking out is not necessarily goong to get them angry with us - if anything being honest and telling them we are uneasy or scared will get them to see us as human and will get them to convey the information in a way which will help us make the right decision for us :)
