“I must preface this comment of mine by stating that this is my own personal opinion - no more, no less - and that I am speaking here only for myself in this respect. Having said that, I can now say that I have been seeing Dr. Hugo Gonzalez as my Primary Care Physician for about a month now, and for a total of three appointments so far. During my first appointment, I began to realize that if I am courteously forthright with my questions and concerns [and even statements of opinion] regarding my medical condition and options for treatment thereof with the Doctor, he then may be more inclined to be forthright and honest about what exactly his job is and why he is doing what he is doing, in prescribing these medicative methods of treatment for me. And this is exactly what happened: in effectively so delineating the finer points of the legal obligations of his committed work, he actually told me my legal rights as patient, based upon his legal obligations as a faithfully educated and committed Medical Doctor to diagnose any malady I may have as such, and to prescribe the medicine he felt it necessary for me to receive and to take under his medical prescription and supervision. He then mentioned that the patient then has the right, under his legally-guarded right to informed consent, to elect to vote for either taking the prescribed medication, or not. Once the parameters of this legally-protective physician-patient relationship had thus been duly vocally established by Dr. Gonzalez in my mind, I then was able to see that the Doctor actually was there to serve to honor the legally-protected choice I had to both respect his medical credentials which served to inform his operative commission as a Medical Doctor so under sworn Hippocratic Oath to thoroughly provide the most proper medical care he could to his patient, whilst at the same time vocally expressing his knowledge that the patient does in fact have a legally-protected right to take or not the medication thus so prescribed to him. Once I understood that aspect of the physician-patient relationship as expressed to me by Dr. Gonzalez, I then felt more comfortable in simply letting him do his job with all due respect to his Official Doctoral Licensure as such, and understanding as well that if I am courteous to Dr. Gonzalez, even as a result of my gratitude for his forthright honesty towards his patient in that regard, then the physician-patient relationship tends - almost inexplicably, it may seem - to move forward at a more convivial pace; this, of course, applies to the relationship between the patient and the clinic staff serving under Dr. Gonzalez's supervision. Once I realized all this, I felt more at ease with the Doctor in his office at every appointment since the first one about a month ago. So, if I were to rate Dr. Gonzalez for simply doing his job well and without therefore my misunderstanding anymore why and/or how he is doing so, then I would give him a 9.5 out of 10. Of course, in a 5-star system of ratings, that would round up to 5 stars. If I'm happening to get any takeaway from my own comment as I'm finishing writing it, then it simply would be this: Don't be afraid to ask any question of the Doctor about the diagnosis of illness of and/or the prescribed medicative treatment he may have for you as the patient; he is simply doing his job, as such; Knowledgeable courtesy in this regard on the part of anyone as the patient toward the physician and/or clinic staff thus may go a long way in serving to maintain any newly-established parameters of mutual understanding and respect in that regard; and A good sense of humor on the part of the patient towards the entire medical-care-centered situation at hand is not necessarily a bad thing at all, especially in this day and age. And, If you've made it to the end of this comment intact; then you probably still remember what it was like, back in the day, when we all generally used to read books: And there's nothing wrong with that at all, In My Humble Opinion; For What It's Worth.
