I haven't had a p-doc say that to me, but I can see where the p-doc would see a non-compliant patient as a person who doesn't really want his help. Since most p-docs have long waiting lists of potential patients, it would be hard for them to take time away from a compliant patient to try to treat somoene who isn't going to follow the treatment plan.

However, your p-doc could have explained to you in a nicer way why his/her office holds that policy. I guess sometimes they are used to having to be very blunt because there are so many patients who work in terms of black and white and won't get it if the doctor gives a long explanation.

I am finding that I have to educate my p-doc on how I want to be treated in order to get the services I deserve. It's a pain.
