My friend's cardiologist makes clear his recommendations. If a patient continues to smoke, eat unhealthful foods, won't exercise, and doesn't take seriously his/her heart health the doctor refuses to see the patient further. He is quite militant when it comes to his enthusiasm for keeping his patients healthy. He will certainly try to convince his patients to keep with the program if he/she is feeling discouraged.
