chemo patient

While performing anal sex, you shave all of the hair off your partners head, ejaculate all over it and make them eat it.

If my girlfiends hair would ever grow back I'd give her another chemo patient.

never was the patient type

To be impatient. The desire to not want to wait for things to occur. A saying some would say, to never be a type of way.

I never was the patient type when it came to waiting in lines .

Patient Baseball

Denying a patient care who brings a high risk of involving you in a malpractice case stemming from other doctors.

The doctors here in Indianapolis have been playing patient baseball with me since Dr. Clark botched a surgery and another doctor refused to treat me for foreign body reaction, to the mesh that he put in after being acknowledging in records that I did not approve.

Patient adherence

Unintentional

Difficulty with label
Incorrect prescription
Forgetting
Feeling better

Peer pressure
Confusing instructions
Unaware of consequences
Complicated regimen

Intentional
religious beliefs
Taste of medication
Prefer other medicine

Don’t trust it
Careless

Side effects
Internet or claims from other people

You can improve a patient’s adherence by simplifying regimen characteristics which will make sure that it isn’t overly complicated and the patient won’t stop taking the medication because it’s instructions are confusing to them.

Imparting knowledge to the patient will allow the patient to understand and be aware of the consequences and might make them trust it more.

Modifying patient beliefs will target specific intentional reasons why the patient stops taking medication and provide the patient with a medication that tailors the unique needs for them..

Patient communication involves the patient's family and includes them for social support and understanding like helping younger or elderly patients take their medications in case they cannot do it by themselves.

You can help the patient to trust the medication more by changing the education and information to the patients level of understanding

Patient adherence is preventing the patient from taking their medication.

Patient: Nurse I need the bedpan again
