Asking questions to a doctor about a medical procedure without questioning their competency [closed]
How to ask questions to my doctor (or the nurses or technicians) about the medical procedure they are going to perform, without being viewed as questioning their competency (without being viewed as second guessing them)? I have had a history with unfortunate incidents (medical malpractice, neglect by nurses) and people conjecture I have trust issues and reprimand me. I have been sent away because they say I don't trust them. I want to avoid negative consequences (repercussions) while still getting the best healthcare. I have tried orally asking them these questions: How could what the industry calls single-use be reused and how could a plastic kidney dish (emesis basin) be sterilized. It can't possibly go inside a sterilization furnace. I have tried formally requesting the alleged "sterilization protocols" for a plastic kindey dish. I doubt there are any. I have asked them how could we use 30 ml if the safety limit is 27 ml. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23681501/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/gadobutrol The answer was "if you don't feel safe go somewhere else". Formal requests turned to be the worst option (they said I have mental problems and I need to get professional help for trust and other issues).
