That's true. I NEVER take a medicine just because my doctor recommends it. I do my own research. And, I won't just take pills from a nurse in the hospital unless he or she can tell me what they are, the dosage, the doctor's name and the purpose. I don't care if they just wake me up. I NEVER just take pills handed to me. I've had at least 8-9 nurses tell me they were impressed (that's well and good but I don't do it for that purpose). They have to remember a ton of stuff. I only have to remember my stuff. I'm not taking that bet with a probably overworked, exhausted nurse with fifteen thousand things to do.
