Doctors should talk openly with patients about treatment costs instead of avoiding the topic. Patients trust their physicians most, so doctors are the right people to help them weigh the financial pros and cons of 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 wanna discuss the cost of my health with anybody, it would be my doctor. That's who I wanna have the conversation with. I don't wanna 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.
