Housecall for Health: Disagreeing With Your Doctor

When you get sick or when you go in for an annual physical, you trust that your doctor is going to do what’s best for your health.  But with internet searches becoming so easy, people are beginning to second guess what their doctors say.  Are they doing anything about it, though?
