I remember talking to a Dr ten years ago and he said he was sick of patients coming in for their Ranitidine but still smoking, drinking and eating fry ups.
I know it always gets bad press when it gets in the papers but I believe that there should be a clause whereby the prescriber can say, "you are not prepared to help yourself I can no longer justify wasting NHS money on you!"
