WHY YOU<br />
SHOULDN’T<br />
LIE TO THE<br />
DOCTOR<br />
gg<br />
Once a doctor knows<br />
you’ve lied (and<br />
remember the doctor<br />
is probably adept at<br />
recognizing lies), he<br />
must account for the<br />
possibility of future lies.<br />
Care can’t be as exact,<br />
and the relationship<br />
with your doctor, which<br />
is important, suffers.<br />
gg<br />
Lying to your doctor<br />
can lead to seriously<br />
damaging medication<br />
combinations. Say<br />
you lie about taking<br />
a certain supplement,<br />
because you’re<br />
embarrassed about<br />
taking it. The doctor<br />
may prescribe a<br />
medication that causes<br />
harm when combined<br />
with that supplement.<br />
gg<br />
You waste money. The<br />
doctor is trying to<br />
monitor your health,<br />
and you are projecting<br />
a false image. It’s like<br />
wearing gloves during a<br />
visit to a palm-reader.<br />
gg<br />
You might end up<br />
getting unnecessary<br />
treatment. This can<br />
both lead to sideeffects<br />
and more<br />
wasted money.<br />
gg<br />
You might develop a<br />
preventable disease or<br />
health condition.<br />
