make errors.

Not adversarial, just leaving the job to the professionals and not
trying to tell him how to do his job. If you went to the doctor, you
would describe the symptoms. You would not go in saying you should do
this and this.

I have in fact done that a number of times when my GP
has failed to find a pulse in my ankles and my physician
had pointed out that with some people the arterys are
too deep in the ankle and you need to check for a pulse
on the top of the foot and when he does that he can
find the pulse fine. I have in fact needed to do that
more than once.

I continue to use him because he is brilliant with small
skin cancers that need minor surgery and he is quite
happy to agree when I pull him up on stuff like that.
