@kmj126 What you call fear mongering we prefer to call 'ethical informing' to make sure people get information that MAY be something not shared, or was poorly understood, or was poorly communicated, by busy physicians to patients who've just received a shocking diagnosis. Having assessed, counseled, and reported on many thousands of clients over twenty-plus years who related that they had been fooled, lied to, ridiculed, or dismissed, when consulting other professionals, I take it as a personal responsibility to try to assuage their fears, fill in the blanks, help them to reason their way through contradictory information, or what seems to be but really isn't, and to learn what the possible outcomes might be if they choose Door #1 and decline Door #2. IOW, we offer a service, fellowship, commiseration, information, and guidance when asked. Nobody comes here for fear mongering.

@kmj126 I have atrial fibrillation and that’s what my cardiologist told me. I’d rather not take it. Do you know something different?

@kmj126 agree 1000%.
