You're the exception, not the rule, Marie. And, perhaps the women you know
are also. However, I have found that talk around the lunchroom table is not
necessarily what happens when folks are actually interacting with their
doctors.
I've sat in on literally hundreds of team meetings with patients and their
families and the over whelming majority of the people capitulate to the
"experts." They never even ask the "sensible" basic questions but only some
rather off-the-wall questions or comments.
Also, ability to pay and having insurance is not an indicator of non-sheople
status when it comes to medicine and one's health. I worked radiology at a
county hospital that got all the indiginent folks and the jail folks. I
worked rehab where they had the full spectrum and I worked the telemetry
unit at a major hospital. At least 90% but probably more, NEVER question
anything a doctor says except to ask cost and NEVER ask the pertinent
question such as you did with the myleogram.
There is no excuse for sheople and the only explanation is conditioning.
