Lying to the doctors

[mardukblood2009]

Maybe he likes the drugs that he is getting for his pain. So many people are on pharmaceutical drugs for other reasons that what they are suppose to be using them for.

The doctor is hopefully doing what is right for the patient, and may or may not know if he's lying, so he/she will continue to give him the shots unless your friend reports a problem.

He's putting his own health on the line.

It;s hard for the doctor to treat you correctly; if someone is not supplying all the information as best they can; doctor may prescribe something that they really do not need and then causes them other problems; I know it 's sometimes hard to describe what's going on; but I always try to tell doctor what's I', experiencing.

Sometimes it's not so much lying just not comfortable of telling the whole truth

Really?  The doctor most likely doesn't care.  The doctor makes more money by giving him the shots than if he didn't.

    Lying to the Doctors simply does not work!

When you lie to doctors and nurses they just run every test and put you through it all. if you're lucky it's just enemas and not catheters .

Eating right and exercising doesn't necessarily completely remove chronic pain from arthritis or other chronic pain causing conditions.  I say let your friend live their life and cope with chronic pain however they see fit.  And be happy if they can get some relief.
