Doctors should talk to patients about treatment costs, not staff members. Patients trust doctors most and naturally ask them for guidance on major decisions. Doctors are best positioned to weigh the pros and cons of expensive care options.
Docs shouldn't talk money with patients. Okay? Now, why? Who told you that? Because I'm gonna tell you right now. As a patient, if I want to discuss the cost of my health with anybody, it would be my doctor. That's who I want to have the conversation with. I don't want to have a conversation with anybody else about the cost of my healthcare besides my doctor. Because I believe that my doctor has my best interests at heart, okay? So I want my doctors to discuss money with me and the cost of my care and weigh the pros and the cons with me.
