Great post with a very important message!

I work a lot with immigrant communities and I find a huge resistance towards medication compliance because of distrust of western medicine. It’s a huge challenge to get the point across at times.

Thanks NP Place! I sometimes wish the censor button could be off for a while but then I would probably be fired.

Maha, I also find our local hispanic population hesitant to come into the office for care due to their fear that I discriminate. I try to get the word out into the community that I am very open minded even to alternative therapies.

Laney, I often see patients out at our local big supermarket and see some really bad choices. Don’t we all though? It does irritate me when people complain about having to come in for their checkups when they can do it for almost no copay when others would love to use the insurance.

Great post. I totally agree. When I was in nursing school, I worked at my mom’s office (she’s a family practice doc). At one point, she was so frustrated with a long-time patient she told him that he should “find himself another doctor because [he's] asking [her] to watch [him] die.” That straightened him out really quick! Of course, she doesn’t say that to everyone, but sometimes I think she wishes she could.

Tough love. And very needed.
It irks me to no end when there are people who would kill for some health insurance and then the guy with health insurance and glucose out the window doesnt care enough to get it checked out.
Or the overweight patient with crazy eating habits and HTN complains that the docs/nurses aren’t doing their jobs properly or else her BP would be under control.
