New Pet Peeve...
This particular sentence seems to be following me lately: "There are risks associated with (insert appropriate drug/medical procedure here), but your doctor has determined the benefits outweigh the risks." I'm sorry, but I side with the person who said "I may not always know what's in my best interests, but surely no one else knows better." (My memory is fuzzy, somebody help me out, did that come from "Optimal Thinking" by Rosalene Glickman?) I have no intention of checking my brain at the door to the clinic or pharmacy, and blindly obeying doctor orders, especially when I have concerns about the appropriateness of the order for my circumstances.
