I've observed that some patients are just stubborn that they won't listen to what their doctors have instructed. My father is a good example. He was told not to eat fatty foods, but he always does. I try to remind him every time but he wouldn't just listen.

For the most part, yes. However, when we first had our daughter, the doctor said to never use baby wipes, it'snot goodfor their skin. I thought he was nuts,we had about 20 cases of wipes. So, I did not listen and used the wipes. 7 years later, my daughters butt is fine. LOL

i generally hate going to the doctor so its only when im really sick and can hardly get out of bed that i go to the doctor. i also hate taking medicine so i ususally take the prescribe medicine until i start to feel better and then i stop even though its prescribed for a certain amount of days. I never take medicine till the last day.
