During a hospital stay, Michelle Rapkin had been woken up early by a urologist who was insiting that she needed kindey surgery. It was a shock, since she was there for her cancer, not a kidney issue. But this doctor was in a hurry and needed Rapkin to choose which surgery she preferred, instead of taking the time to consult her oncologist.
It can be easy to accept that the doctor is always right, especially when the topic is so far out of your own expertise, but Rapkin argues that at the end of the day, doctors work for you. You need to make sure that your best interests, both mentally and physically, are the main priorities.
