My provider asked for my consent for a medical student to observe / participate in our discussions, and also paid close attention to me when I answered his questions. That was very important to me and respectful. My provider, Chetan Bettegowda, gave me space to have a say in the management of my case, by also allowing me to ask questions. We left his office feeling assured that we were in the right place.
