| It’s like one of my tutors at university, when asked to remove words from my essay, put a line through big chunks. I had sat for hours trying to remove words and struggled. Doctors have this same outside overall picture that a patient cannot have because they are so deep in the problem, however unlike my tutor they don’t have an intimate working knowledge of the subject.
Doctor is only trying to make you take a step backwards and reflect. As long as you’re happy with the way things are going then keep going. Injecting into your arm is a calculated risk that you have consciously taken. If this helps you’re control and if you believe it is a worthwhile risk, then I can’t see anything wrong with that. |
