An excellent response to questions from ill-informed and unthinking physicians:
My doctor asked me if I would like to have a government employee decide
my health issues. I said “No. I would rather have a retired nurse tell
you my private insurance company won’t pay for a procedure you believe I
must have.”
That shut him up.
