      real talk, though, if you want to be treated less condescendingly by doctors, gather 'round, i have a strategy you can try out

      first, imagine you're really into tinkering with gadgets, and there's a guy down the street who is really hardcore into it, and helpful

      in this analogy, the senior gadget nerd down the street is the doctor, you are the junior gadget enthusiast, and your body is the gadget

      a natural approach is then, "hey, look at this funny thing that is being done by this device of interest to both of us, fellow nerd"

      (if relating to your body as a weird, fascinating object bothers you, try a steady diet of medical documentaries until the feelings passes)

      ymmv, but i find that maintaining this sort of attitude makes doctors speak to me more plainly, less pedagogically, and more respectfully

      to some minor extent they seem to start relating to me more as a somewhat adorably ignorant hobbyist in the area of their profession

      definitely be humble in your deference to the learning of the senior nerd; trying to play big shot expert has only two possible outcomes

      either you'll (most likely) come off as an asshole poseur and defeat the point, or you'll pull it off and thereby compromise your treatment

      the last thing you need is your doctor unconsciously assuming you know more about your treatment options than you do

          if you think all this says a lot about what makes doctors tick, i probably agree, but if you think it says anything bad i kind of hate you

          i've noticed @amayoco occasionally does this - carefully uses all the right terms & ignores their attempts to explain-to-laymen.
