atrophy patient

What an in home caregiver has when they keep a patient in a state of atrophy for job security. They do as little as possible for their patient so the patient does not improve to a point of not needing care.

My atrophy patient is not asking for any in home exercises so I’m not going to suggest anything so I can sit and watch tv for most of my shift. It’s easy money.

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

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 hoarding

Keeping patients coming back for as long as you can, for the rest of their lives if at all possible. The goal is to keep a steady stream of patients coming in, by keeping as many patients on your list as possible, so as to maximize your weekly income. You don't want to completely cure them, or they might decide they don't need you anymore. You just need to make them feel like they're making progress, slowly but surely.

Psychiatrists and therapists are especially notorious for this. They will often make you feel that your condition is incurable, although treatable. Of course, some people, including those with chemical imbalances, may need a lifelong course of treatment. But some others, who may just be going through a difficult time in their lives, may not.

Some doctors do want to see their patients get cured and move on, if possible. But some (the patient hoarders) want to keep as many patients coming back as possible, for as long as possible.

As long as this doctor continues her practice of patient hoarding, you will have to make appointments well in advance because she will be booked solid for weeks, or even months, at a time.

Patient Cook

Patient cook, unlike actual cook, is not cooking. There, the word cook itself is homonym to cuck, as in cuckold. So patient cook is a guy who is very endured being obviously humiliated by a girl and/or her boyfriend.

Sam: I have driven 250 miles to see her only to find out she had a boyfriend who were with us the whole time.

You: Whoa, what a Patient Cook you are.
