+1 for that. 10 years ago I had misdiagnosed cancer for 3 years despite seeing lots of doctors. The symptoms were there but none of the doctors connected the dots.

Since that experience I am coming to the doctors prepared and with defined expectations. And I engage them in well defined Q&As which have defined goals.

I am taking care of my 90 years old Mom now and I do the same - I read the medial literature and suggest to the doctors what results I am expecting. To my surprise most doctors are quite keen to co-operate.

I have improved my Moms quality of life suggesting replacing sleeping pills for mild ant-anxiety pills, and getting anti-depressants that work well for osteoarthritis pain.
