I 100% agree with [1]. I used to work with a group of MDs and the paternalism was shocking. While not universal, many of them relished the role of oracle on high and were uneasy with any change which would take them off of the top of that pillar.
On the actual topic at hand, my last doctors office had a system where I could see everything they wrote on a web portal and it was eye opening. The number of times I'd say X and they'd write Y was astounding. It was primarily the nurse and not the actual MD but I learned that I needed to be very careful about everything I said as the image of me that someone would have if they only read those notes was nearly the opposite of what I was trying to convey.
