1 - Find out your doctor's intentions for treatment well in advance of testing. This gives you time to seek alternatives, IF you don’t like their intentions. Or even decline the test. 2 - Write out NOT ONLY your questions, but a whole strategy of what you prefer. You may want someone to support you. 3 – Know what you Want and Don’t want. It’s up to us to ask for what we want.  4 - Have an alternative resource in the wings. That will make easier to refuse a drug, or find better treatments. 5 - Question their decisions. And make sure the test was performed correctly. 6 - Realize that your doctor can’t know your reactions or symptoms unless you tell them.... Remember that your body is your vehicle.... Without your body in prime shape, you’re going NOWHERE!!!! So learn and use these principles.
