Star-Telegram.com: | 04/21/2008 | Disregarding doctors’ orders The quote in the heading may be my favorite of all the declarations made about improving patient compliance. My second favorite, also from this article, is No one wakes up and says, “Yes, today is a good day for a colonoscopy.”
In addition to offering great quotes, this piece is one of the best articles on noncompliance I’ve seen in the lay press. While it is not all-inclusive, it does also offer outstanding advice for patients coping with a difficult medication regimen (e.g., taking meds that produce severe side-effects). Heck, it’s even inspirational.
