I had a patient today who is currently crashing with the "Occupy Tacoma" group.

In a tent near the Washington State History Museum.

I told him I thought that was cool, and to thank the occupiers for me.

Now if I can just get his blood pressure under control...

1. How very cool, my dear Aristus!

And I don't mean his blood pressure!

I hope you can help him too...

And hey...

Have a great Thanksgiving!

:hi:

2. Well, CalPeg, when a patient is non-compliant with his treatment plan,

the best plan in the world won't do a bit of good...

With some patients, it's not about getting them to take their meds, it's about convincing them to come in for refills when they run out of them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Oh, so that's the situation.

You are absolutely right.

I'd hate to see him have a stroke or something like that because he wouldn't take his meds or get his refills.
