Have them talk!: Please have those two physicians contact each other and give you clear guidelines. By asking them to communicate with each other and help you you will have an answer that will be benefiting you most at the end.

Your M.D.: With all due respect for the nursing institution, i would vote that you listen to your physician. If in doubt, you can always get a second opinion from another physician. Best wishes.
