Well, it's clear that the guessing has to stop. You should definitely (as some folks have suggested) talk to the other doctors.
If the problem occurs because you're asking questions that are making you question your own judgement, you need to make sure that they understand that. Maybe they have good suggestions for you, or maybe you know something they don't. In any case, you need to make sure you know the three types of questions. Asking why you do something a certain way could mean:
1) could you explain, because I'm curious 2) I have a suggestion, if you want it 3) I'm giving you an order, but in an indirect fashion.
(And, I'm sure there are other possibilities, but these are the three that stick out) I think you're assuming they are type 3 questions only... leading to you trying to anticipate the question, and answer it before it's asked (hence, before an order is given). But, I'd be surprised if they aren't primarily the first two types.
If they *are* giving you questions that are really orders, it seems that the problem is that you're not seeing the pattern that links these things together... so you need to ask some questions yourself, until you can understand that pattern.
