#29: The Truth is the Most Important Thing

This may be the case for some doctors, but it was certainly never the case with mine. He would sometimes tell me that he would refuse to treat me unless I changed a certain lifestyle habit or other. However, there are probably many other medical professionals out there that think like this.
