You said <<I think patients are much too compliant with what I consider
"advice" from medical personnel. Someone sent me a private email about my
decision not to do my last two chemo treatments, asking me if it was "legal"
to refuse chemo...I also think this is how many people view medical advice
-- like you MUST take the doctor's advice.  You don't have to!!!!>>

Excellent points. Have you ever considered giving lectures on this very
topic? I think it would make a big difference in maternal - child care that
families receive and the care rec'd by all other health care consumers for
that matter. Or an article on this in a publication that would reach the
general public? You would be perfect for this crusade!
