No one wants to be left in the dark especially when it comes to your health. So do I. I would want to know the truth no matter how hard or difficult it is, at least I could prepare myself should anything happen to me. Yes of course for certain!
But what about you? Would you like your doctor to be perfectly honest with you even though it may be a sensitive topic or difficult to hear? Do you think it is better to hear from someone else maybe your family member or close friend? Or you're just like me, you would still want to know, no matter how complicated it is to understand?
Share with me your preference :) and happy mylotting!

I would like my doctor to be honest with me
even how hard it is. At least you know what
to do and what to expect in the future.

Of course I would want my doctor to be honest with me but unfortunately, I cannot trust my doctor and have had so much trouble with doctors in the recent past that I just don't trust them to tell me the truth at any time. They have made it very clear that they do no to care about my health and well-being all they care about is money and lots of it. At least that is my experiences with doctors. I have been sick for 6 years with a condition that would be so simple to treat and take care of and they do nothing except throw prescriptions at me that make me sicker!

Yes, I would want the doctor to be honest. I wouldn't want to hear it from anyone else because its confidential and I wouldn't want anyone other than the doctors to know before I did. Unless I give my permission (or am no longer able to do so) I would not expect my doctor to discuss my condition with friends/relatives.

It is my life and I would want to know what is actually happening to my body and I would want to get a very honest and sincere wordings from my doctor. Even if I am suffering from something which is not curable then still I would want an honest reply from my doctor because I want to live in truth and I would be very hurt If I do not know the truth about myself.
