Sometimes It's Better to Let Some Folk Go

I recently had a bad experience that I feel compel to tell you about because it could be a good learning experience for others. Sometimes patients will come in to see the physician and they have no intension on doing what is right (They want to be the physician). One can always tell because they come in with a lot of misinformation about their medical problem that they have gotten from the street --and you just listen waiting for the best time to correct them. Some folk will listen and their medical issues turn around almost before their eyes. Others will continue in their own way not taking your professional advice that has been will documented by the profession. What do you do with these patients? Do you let them stay in the practice and watch them go "down the tube"? Do you negotiate with them and hope they will come around to what makes good medical sense. Do you ask them to leave and find another physician? I asked him to leave and find another physician. "Closing the gap ain't by any means easy".
