You're right you have to be assertive and ask questions these days, but I'm sure many people out there feel like they don't want to disrespect the doctor, and assume they know what they are talking about. It's a fine line between due diligence and hypochondria. Ideally you would like to assume the doctor you are going to is good every time, but of course that's not very realistic.
