My mother worked in a hospital all of her adult life, behind the switchboard, so it was even more natural to her to defer to doctors. To this day she practically bows low, kwim? When I chose the medical field I had to consciously work past that natural deference and it was maddening. Of course, years and years of working in a teaching facility cured me of that lol My mom's sister recently had some major health problems and we had to find her a good nursing home. I was so glad I offered to do the legwork because my mom was way too busy kowtowing to the Powers That Be, whether the administrators or the case workers or the whoever, to actually ask the right questions to get things done. In the end, everybody was helpful and amazing, so I can't complain but it was really hard to watch. I do know *exactly* what you're taking about lol

And yes, thank all those gods that you found a good homeopath. So many people don't.
