One Word that can save your life - No

One Word that can save your life - No

This one scared the hell out of me:

My problem - When I have a bit of any kind of health problem, I go to a doctor, say, my family doctor. Let's further suppose that he/she recommends either that I undergo a test or refers me to a "Specialist" who, in turn, recommends a test.

I, being a layman in the world of medicine, have two options: Either trust the doctor or do my own research to evaluate the pros and cons of the doctor's advice and act accordingly.

Simple question:

  • When and under what circumstances should I say "No" to my doctor?

Can any of the doctor readers of this blog give me an answer that can be understood by laymen like me?

After all, it is a matter of life and death!

Regards,

N
