34. We're adults, with free will. I don't appreciate being treated like a child

who doesn't know what's good for me. I don't need a nanny to regulate my behavior when it comes to my body and my health. Plus, doctors often overtreat or misdiagnose problems, leading to further expense and possible danger. I'm all for educating people on preventive health care (I'm a nurse), but you can only lead the horse to water, you can't make him drink.
