title: What health care providers know: a taxonomy of clinical disagreements.
abstract: Some assume that respecting patient autonomy means clinicians should refrain from expressing opinions about what's in a patient's best interests. But depending on the kind of medical decision the patient is making, a clinician may have expertise vital to the patient's best interests-and even if she doesn't, she may still know what is best.
