That's pretty cool.
I make efforts not to foster fear or nervousness in my doctors. I prefer they be challenged and goal-oriented while being determined to get me well. It should be a collaborative effort. Of course, if I wanted to, I could overwhelm many of the doctors I have seen through self-education. I just chose not to use my tongue to my disadvantage.
I'm not sure why you feel that your doctors get nervous when they know you're coming, but this may be an indication that you are seeing a doctor who is not well-suited to treat you.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
