You are an informed constituent. Use your knowledge effectively.

I do. But I shouldn't have to rely on that when dealing with a member of a medical profession. I've had enough to do with both docs and vets to know that good docs and vets appreciate an informed patient. It helps them, and it helps them help the patient. But I've also had the experience with both docs and vets who either couldn't abide an informed patient, or thought making sure that a patient is informed was beneath them. To my mind, informed consent is what it's all about. And the onus is still on the doc to provide it.
