My approach to patient care is to work with the patient on decision-making in a collaborative way. My role is to provide information, data, facts and support the patient's decision. That might flow from absorbing those facts and helping them to decide what the best approach for them may be. It's not my approach to tell them what I think or what they should or shouldn't do.
