"But know also, man has an inborn craving for medicine...the desire to take
medicine is one feature which distinguishes man the animal from his fellow
creatures. It is really one of the most serious difficulties with which we
have to contend." William Osler 1894
And yet, "compliance" or taking of that which is prescribed is a huge
challenge too!
I think it's about allowing something outside to take responsibility for
one's own health. Sometimes that is helpful, to an extent, and often it
isn't.
