So, this is a stupid thing to be mildly upset about, but this train of thought is keeping me from SI so here we go...

Why is it called med compliance? Like I'm complying to your will, oh great overlord? No. Some people have completely valid reasons for stopping their meds (or they're just forgetful) and although you should talk to your doctor before you stop, stopping meds doesn't make you a bad person. I feel like doctors made up the term to shun people who didn't like their advise. Or in the case of the human warehouse down in mississippi they like to call an adolescent ward, med compliance problems included things like asking what the side effects were. Yes, I'm serious. I spent almost a week in that hellhole in the armpit of Mississippi and they tried to keep me longer because I asked about my medicine. So this is a little bit of a sore spot for me.

Long story short, we should come up with a more apt name for this phenomenon. "does not want to shove freaking chemicals down his/her throat" has my vote. Or, "She's forgetful, give her a break!"
