Me too.....

Further to your point.... we hear more and more about doctors refusing to treat patients if they don't do their part in improving their condition. Like an obese person who smokes and drinks and is in need of a 4th heart transplant. Some doctors refuse to accommodate them if between each transplant they haven't make any lifestyle changes to protect their new heart. Like loosing wieght and quitting smoking and drinking. I've mixed feelings about this kind of thing cuz I know how hard it is to change but I can understand why doctors might take this stand.
