Well, i factor certain things re tests.
First is the necessity of the test. I demand they tell me the possible diagnosis and are they treatable . If so HOW ( Meds operations rehab
In other words, they are selling me a used vehicle so how is it to MY benefit to drive this used car for X dollars when i own my own used car out right or will this just allow them to have a name for my issue in their scientific records and in my chart.
Then its my age and the amount of pain and suffering involved. I realize the quality of my daily life is a balancing act, its not going to be perfect so do i give the freedom of being autonomous but uncomfortable up for weeks or months so they can tinker and i end up with a need for more operations and more meds and thus more side effect
Now i realize this is the PRIVILEGE of choice in my very limited medical need.
Sure hope this is making sense, im distracted
