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 my diagnosis, without being viewed as questioning their competency (without being viewed as second guessing them)? I have had a history with unfortunate incidents 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 a question How could what the industry calls single-use be reused and how could a plastic kidney dish (emesis basin) be sterilized. It can possibly go inside sterilization furnace. I have tried formally requesting the 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).
