By the book: It's important that you trust your doc and that they trust you. Although they are a resident, they are also a doctor. They should be aware of new guidelines, and treat you at least "by the book". If you feel they are putting your health in jeopardy you may need a 2d opinion. But if they are doing things the right way, give them a chance to work, or calmly tell them otherwise.

Second Opinion: Physicians at all levels of training are concerned with best management practices for their patients. Residents are supervised and trained, with all cases being discussed with their attending physicians (supervisors). You cannot coerce the physician to change your care if they believe it to be in your best interest but you can obtain a second opinion if you disagree.
