Hi Pat, I think the generation past of doctors were told they were the smartest person in the room their entire lives and sometimes it was so but sometimes their social skills were lacking and they came off as know it alls. They also were never taught how to deal with noncompliance. To disagree with a doctor is still an issue between patients and doctors. You bring up the great point of knowledge from the internet, awareness of drugs from commercials and this is great discussion points to have with a doctor with honesty on both sides.
