pen_gruntPregnancy board lady: OMG, my doctor is trying to pressure me into getting a flu shot!
Me: OMG, if you're not going to listen to your doctor, why aren't you just getting pregnancy advice by holding a conch shell up to your ear and doing whatever the ocean sounds tell you to do?
Sometimes I just snap, man.
Seriously, though. You can NOT take your doctor's advice or get a second opinion, or whatever...but it's pretty much their job to "pressure" you into doing what's best for your health. If she had sky-high cholesterol, they would probably try to "pressure" her into fixing the issue through diet or meds.
