medicine

I am practicing medicine in a village, I see people who, according to our reference books, should not be alive! I really don't know if the books are wrong or if these people are different from the rest of the world

I had a patient who had one of his heart vessels blocked and a stent was placed on his heart, and he was not taking any medicine, unbelievable 😑

Although frustrating as someone with the medical knowledge knowing  the important of compliance, I also think it very important to get context and understand the why. 

How did your conversation go after hearing about the non-compliance issue?
