Yeah, I trust my doctor because he has demonstrated the ability to explain things to me when I press. Because of that, I am more likely to accept his judgement unchallenged on things I don't think matter as much. Another doctor could give me the exact same advice but drive me away by doing the "I'm the expert; do what I tell you" thing.
Emergencies are a special case anyway; you don't have time to have the discussion.
