Is your doctor killing you softly with his words?

Your relationship with your doctor is perhaps the most intimate human relationship beyond that of your family and those you love. It is one we hope that we can trust with our lives. We need to have and to trust that intimacy but does the system encourage that? Might the honestly held goals of your physician to protect you be overwhelmed by the bargains that society makes? I wonder what we should think if it is the official policy of the patient care system to avoid telling you of an advancing disease before you actually get sick?
