ConsumerReports.org - Choosing the right doctor 02/07: Getting better care

ConsumerReports.org - Choosing the right doctor 02/07: Getting better care: "# Almost one-third of the doctors failed to discuss side effects of prescribed drugs, and two-thirds never brought up costs of treatments and tests, patients said.
# Patients stuck with uncommunicative doctors got much better results when they took active steps such as taking a friend or relative along on the visit or asking doctors directly about their experience treating similar cases."
