you have been on or are on now, and add the words 'forum' / 'discussion group'
I've just come home from a meeting with my Doctor when I got her to agree to my stopping a newly prescribed (previously dropped by me) anti-hypertensive drug. Because it was i) causing the same problems again, and ii) interfering with one of three self-help programs I have put myself on.
That project came about, within the last month because of a problem I'd recognised. Through web searching and friends, I quickly found local people who can help me to strengthen my core muscles and perhaps avoid surgery for this problem.
This will enhance the other two self-help plans I am following.
LBNL. I am not in the USA. I am not one of your health care providers, nor am I you. Nor do I have your problems, which I'd bet you need to understand a good deal better, than you do now.
And, I am committed to self help.

  ...point.
  
  Ultimately YOU are responsible for your health and healthcare.
  
  So inform yourself and be your own advocate.
  
  There are some very good websites you can trust like Mayo Clinic, WebMD and a few others.
  
  Search them, find out about your conditions and medications, write down your questions before your appointment, have a conversation with your doctors and be your own advocate.
  
  Like our political leaders, we get the healthcare we settle for.

    So the appropriate response to someone trying to educate and be proactive with their health care is to tell them they have much to learn and they are responsible for their own health.
    
    Wow that's such an enlightened point. But it's actually so ironic that this is the kind of pigeon holed thoughtless response many Americans (not just me) get when talking to their Doctors.
    
    As if being mindless pissants is requirement of good citizenship. No doubt it wouldn't take many questions or even a minor inquisition for a doctor to tell me to GFYS. Well I take that back - they say that but in their own way. Probably something they learn in college.

  - Please, lt's About Health INSURANCE! - Inmate51 10:15:02 10/28/14 (1)
    Not "health care". Tom Duncan had "health care". But did he have USA health insurance?
    - In the US, it's About Health INSURANCE! - mkuller 10:35:57 10/28/14 (0)
      ...in every other modern democracy in the world, *everyone* has health insurance.
      
      It's only in the US that millions still don't.
