For a healthy life, one needs to be frank about what he or she tells the doctor. There are critical things you never lie to your doctor about . Here are five things you should never lie to your doctor about.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle is the main factor that determines the health status of a person, most people tend to lie about how frequent they eat fries or cigarettes they smoke in a day because they are afraid the doctor will ask them to reduce or quit.
Diet
Many people especially the overweight guys are never frank on their diet. There are cases where they were warned against consumption of certain foodstuffs but since they can't quit, they will cheat the doctor. This is medically unethical and won't guarantee you help.
Abortion
This is a very personal choice some women have had to make in their lives. Being open about an abortion you had in the past will help the doctor understand how to help you. While it may not be the easiest thing to talk about, you must reveal this to your doctor especially if you’re in the hospital for lady related issues.
Mental trauma
Always remember to disclose any kind of mental problems you've ever experienced in the past. Opening up about mental health is difficult considering the stigmatization it carries and the embarrassment that stops people from talking about it, be frank and let the medic offer help.
Age
Most of us want to be 18 or 21 forever but that cannot be. Age has a lot to do with drug prescription, lowering age may lead to underdose prescription from the medic. Always give your right age regardless of the impression you have created for yourself.
