To be labeled “non-compliant” is in some ways like being labeled a racist. Dig below the surface and it’s almost always just a silly insult. We need to learn to ignore stuff like that. When I was in NP practice I always wrote “declined” rather than “refused” because it was less judgmental. Patients were the ultimate decision-makers in their care and I wanted the chart to reflect that.

Ha! Ha! 'non-compliant' - 'medication resistant' - 'denier' - and more. All euphemisms for SANE.
I love that!
