We pay EXPERTS to advise us. Some people never do do what their doctors tell them to do. They are LOUSY patients. Why?

    Sometimes it's not a matter of being a lousy patient.  I know my body better than anyone.  If a doctor advises me to do something that I don't believe is the right thing for me, I don't do it.  If a doctor was to prescribe an antibiotic for something I know it won't help - i.e. a cold, laryngitis, etc., I will refuse it and in such a case, i would most likely find another doctor.

    Thank you for your reply L. I have never not done what a doctor told me to do. Different strokes.
