Oftentimes the doctor gets the patient they deserve. If they keep saying everything but the most common side effects is in your head, if they have no time to listen, if they don't understand how to approach sensitive things (like weight) but just walk all over the patient's feelings and if they touch you without respect, they will not get a patient who trusts them. If on top of that they get ANGRY if the patient does wrong to his own body and the doc treats the patient's body like it is the doc's PROPERTY, all is lost.

I know one of those non-compliant patients. Yea, he takes meds as he is told to, but he won't make lifestyle changes. Why? The doc hasn't even asked or tried to understand why he comforts himself with food, he hasn't asked how much he knows about nutrition (he doesn't know anything), friend has never had the doc say it can be fixed but it is hard. Doc just says fix this it's easy, forgets about his emotional baggage and doesn't get that he doesn't actually know what a carb is.

I know the doc is probably frustrated, but it is partially the doc's own fault for upsetting my friend instead of adapting the message.

Myself I have been told I should not be treated because I have "autism" and the doc needs to treat everyone alike and I can come back when I stopped having autism. All I asked was for a warning before being physically touched.... so I got stressed and couldn't do what was asked of me. Yea bad bad me!
