We’re working WITH you not FOR you! It’s so disheartening to see how noncompliant our patients can be because they think we can just magically fix them 💔

Realizing how many come into the ed just due to not being compliant with their medication or even skipping dialysis is honestly insane. Or not giving up their bad habits but then healthcare workers get called pill pushers

It’s a challenging concept to grasp, but many patients, exhausted by their illnesses, may resist medical advice because it feels like yet another loss of control. Paradoxically, refusing guidance one of the few choices still available to them can create a placebo effect of autonomy, allowing them to reclaim a sense of agency even as their body weakens. Perhaps by shifting our approach, we can better support those who need extra help in regaining some form of control over their lives.

Had a patient come in with critically high CO2. Refused to let us shave his beard for BiPap and refused intubation. He passed the next day. Family was begging him but he said his beard was his life and he wasn’t getting rid of it.

As a surgeon, this is very relevant and my senior partner says: you shouldn’t care more about the problem than the patient does, but the reality is that’s hard to do.

I do High Risk OB ultrasounds. I tell the other providers we can’t care more about their health or the health of their baby more than them. We can just document, document, document that all efforts were made to help them.

Thats right, we cant force them to make their own health a priority and we cant do it all for them. We teach, we guide, we care, we help, but then we HAVE to step aside

Learned the same in vet med sadly you can’t care more than they do at the end of the day what they choose isn’t on you as much as you wanna help you can’t force someone to do something

I dont know why people get so hung up on that. it's called autonomy if somebody doesn't want treatment you should respect that
