But I did everything my doctor told me too !

As an infertility specialist, I see lots of patients who have been poorly treated by other doctors. When I ask them why the quality of their care was so poor, they often look confused and distressed. " But I did everything my doctor told me too !"
I wish this were enough to ensure you were getting good medical care. Unfortuntely, the truth is that if you are lucky and you have a good doctor, this doctor will help you make the right decisions and get the best care possible. However, if you are unlucky, and don't have a good doctor, then what ? You jst cannot aford to leave everything upot the doctor. You need to trust him, but you also need to verify everything he says independently - there is too much at stake !
