Urging patience with patient self-advocacy

"I have come to appreciate why doctors find self-directed patients challenging, if not downright difficult. I wish all docs would engage with us, hear us out, and offer an explanation and further discussion when they disagree. The doctors I choose to work with seem to understand and respect my efforts, which is why I entrust my life to their care."

Murray Keith Wadsworth is a patient advocate and author of Prostate Cancer: Sheep of Wolf?

He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "Urging patience with patient self-advocacy."
