Bad Advice

I'm amazed at the number of people who come to the doctor who really don' t want to get well. When they don't like medical advice, it is labeled as bad advice. This type of advice most often involves taking some personal responsibility and changing bad decision making or bad habits.

Medical advice you don't agree with does not necessarily equal bad advice. It more likely represents a bad attitude. However, when you accept that you are responsible for your own health, there is no one left to blame but yourself when you don't get well. Having no one to blame is not acceptable to many people.
