I find it gigglesome how often we seem to think we know treatment better than a doctor..meanwhile there aren't too many of us willing to push the pilot aside and land a 727.
In this arena - the patient knows *how he feels* better than the doctor. There's no objective lab tests, no diagnostic equipment to peer into the patient's psyche. It's all very subjective. I may be mistaken, but that may have been what LostDays was referring to.
Exactly right!
