Newsflash: The majority of patients are non-compliant

50 to 75 percent don’t follow their doctor’s instructions:

Either they don’t fill a prescription, or they don’t change a dressing, or they forget to take their pills, or they fail to follow instructions in some other way. Even more surprisingly, the people with the chronic problems, such as high blood pressure, have the highest non-compliance rates. Children, too, are often victims of caregivers who fail to follow a doctor’s instructions.
