In this episode, I share my insights from ten years of medical practice on why treatments don't always work as expected. I explore everything from the basic inefficacies of certain treatments to the complex interplay of dosages, patient compliance, and personal beliefs. I discuss the critical role of setting appropriate expectations and the often-overlooked impact of personal interactions and the healthcare environment. Join me as I unpack the multifactorial reasons behind treatment outcomes and share real-world experiences that highlight the importance of a holistic approach to patient care.
