WHEN
TREATMENT
SHOULD NOT BE DELIVERED
ln ancient Chinese medical prac-
tice, there were
6
categories ol patients
that physicians would refuse to treat.
These
principles
are
still
relevant.
Firstly,
those
who trust
witches do
not
deserve
to
be
treated.
Others
who
believe
in
quackery do
not
deserve to
be treated
also.
Procrastination
in
dis-
ease management decisions and
un-
realistic denial
of
illness lead
to
undue
delays
-
these
patients do not deserve
to
be
treated.
Patients with chronic dis-
eases should recognize the need for
longterm
ileatments
-
shopping around
too
frequently and unnecessarily render
them unsultable
to
be
treated.
other
patients who insist
on
the doctor
pre-
scribing expensive medicine or treat-
ment, believing expense
is
directly pro-
portional to the cost, do not deserve
to
be
treated.
Finally, those patients who
do not abstain from bad
habits
do
not
deserve to
be
treated.
Once, a patient
with
embolic-phlebitis (blockage
of
blood vessel due
to
a
clot)
was con-
servatively and successfully treated,
and amputation was
avoided.
Unfortu-
nately,
he
did not
abstain
lrom
smok-
ing as strongly advised
-
he finally
ended up in a
highlevel
amputation
of
his lower limb.
