Galveston County Daily News, Sept. 2, 2008 UTMB's Dr. Michael Warren in his weekly column says that patients should be knowledgeable about his or her body and health problems in order to better communicate with a doctor. "I'm not suggesting everyone goes to medical school and becomes a doctor, but I am suggesting that, when it's your health at stake, making the effort to get explanations and to understand that what is happening is to your advantage."
