Suggestion
Having been a medical worker AND a bc patient, I lean toward wanting to improve "the system". What I've done in talking it over with the PCP is to ask for (and then ask again if necessary) the office to "demonstrate that they really are interested in being accurate" and in "doing better" in a concrete way by setting up a maintained patient self-education situation. When I finished treatment, in respect for my PCP's office and the patients, I bought a small pretty basket to contain their patient education materials, and then donated a copy of the Mayo Clinic Guide to Women's Cancers to go in it. It is portable for the nurses to use with the patients. When I see my PCP I request to see the basket so that I know they are keeping it current.
