Patients often deceive physicians. Do not comply with the prescribed mode, cancel themselves treatment, medication change, etc. But where as often as they deceive the doctor unconscious - people believe in the truthfulness of his words. And here it is very important to be near a loved one, which confirm or refute the words of the patient.

Not so long ago came to me a couple - successful businessman 40 years under 130 kg and his wife.
I usually start to question the patient about the mode of the day and food.
From his words it appeared that he almost did not eat.
I quote:
- since morning drink a glass of warm water (this is useful!). Sometimes tea. Nothing else is it, maybe sick. Well, actually I prefer better half an hour extra sleep than breakfast.
- Time is very intense, in Lunch also get to eat. Therefore, water, tea.
- a full dinner in the evening. Eat properly cooked good meat or fish, lots of vegetables.
The question is, how then 130 kg and obesity?
Here intervenes wife and says: "Then do with me what you want, but I will tell the truth"
- in the morning the first thing my husband stomping over to the refrigerator and vyhlebyvaet not less than a liter of milk fat.
- on his way to work he always buys a hamburger or shawarma - it confirmed his personal driver. More than once a week, but every day.
- at work, he constantly drinking tea with lots of dried fruits and nuts. The secretary said that he absorbs their cups are not aware of how many calories in them.
- and in the evening properly cooked meat and vegetables he generously pours mayonnaise, because without it, he "does not feel the taste."
- and at bedtime again a lot of warm milk with honey and butter "to the throat does not tickle".
From such a diet husband became not only thick, he spoiled character. He became irritable, constantly broke and his wife and a small child. In the evening, coming after work, he could only lie and swear at all. "I married a quiet and friendly person."
As a result, one morning my husband could not get out of bed - it was much bad. Pomeroy pressure, sugar - all the rolls.
Wife set an ultimatum - or immediate divorce, or he goes with her to an endocrinologist, and therapist.
Of course, her husband was hard to hear all this, and for a while in my office raging storm. But I clearly understand the picture.
If loving wife did not tell the truth, it would be missing a lot of time, so necessary for the treatment.
I'm sure that if you change the diet, connecting sport and something any of drugs, a person will not only improve health, but also character. I see such examples every day.
