So it seems I misunderstood, sorry.
I'm relieved to know that you do in fact respect other professions, at least I accept what you say, and on reflection I suspect that my misunderstanding was probably semantic; a different interpretation of the word "solution".
To use your doctor/patient analogy, I was asserting that the patient has every right to say "I have halitosis, it's inhibiting my social life, and I want sweet smelling breath", whereas I would agree with what I now think you saying that the patient does not have the right to say "...and I want you to prescribe benzodiazepine."
