[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 331826, member: 1157"] Unfortunately, I did not learn that question/technique until much later in my girls' lives, so didn't get to use it at Oldest's worst times. Later, however, Oldest's surgeon was very good at answering it. He became my "voice of reason" when all else failed. But I did use it when my mother was dying.. and I was trying to make a decision about her health. Her doctor did indeed answer me, honestly I think. My own doctor answers this as well, with regard to my own health issues. He even offers it.. "if it were me, I would do X, not Y." Some doctors are too arrogant to answer .. some may be downright uncomfortable. But I think at the very least, it might stop them in their tracks, and remind them that they are treating a human being who is not that different from themselves. [/QUOTE]
