How to convince patient for good diet and exercise?
Patient: hi, my father-in-law(FIL) is a dialysis patient, he is not co-operating for medicines,exercise and diet, he says he will be all right if we leave him as his wish, he is having wheezing  problem now and then but he wants to drink all juices, ice soda etc., he do all things just opposite to what we are saying, he is taking everything as we are ruling him, and he says that he is the head of the house and we all should do according to his wish, he is a retired ITI principal, he often mention that and wont do anything we are saying. Doctor: Hi there, thanks for posting your query on this forum.You are a very caring son in law indeed seen from your concern about his health.Your father in law is suffering from Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) and probably Bronchial Asthma as well. Mostly in people who have retired or who have been diagnosed with serious illnesses it is seen that their mental state changes which could lead to such behavior.You can't change his behavior but you can only make him aware of the possible outcome if he is not co-operating for medicines, exercise & diet.  Consult a Homeopathic Doctor to improve his mental state.Regards,Dr. Kunal Lokare
