No insult intended, but patients are the absolute worst at listening to what their Dr's tell them and relating what they are treating them for or referring (trufing) them to another doctor.

I can't tell you how many time I've spent 20 minutes talking to a patient, only to have them return in a month having followed exactly NONE of my instructions.
