IMO a world like compliance should not be used. If a doc said that about me I would not go back. For me this is very very negative word. When I had my ADHD testing I had a really cool psych doing the tests and she seemed happy that I was quite verbal and quite smart so I could actually easily say what I meant as an answer to her questions and that stuff. But never did she use that ugly world. When we had finished 2 intense days, I thanked her and said she was fun to work with (because she was, smart, listened, not patronizing and VERY interested in her work), and she thanked me back and said I was fun working with as well. Like as we were a TEAM. THAT is the way it should be!
