agree  Eileen Brophy: Excellent

  -> Thank you, Eileen.
agree  Lucy Breen: Or "no longer compliant" as well
8 hrs
  -> Except that "compliant"/"compliance" seems to have fallen out of favor among those who decide what is and is not acceptable terminology in medical and healthcare texts. See Muriel's comment in the discussion. Thanks for the "agree." :)
agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: I like 'cooperative'. See my comment above on 'compliant'/'compliance'.
8 hrs
  -> Right. I definitely am clear that "compliant"/"compliance" is no longer considered kosher in medical texts. Thanks. :)
agree  Charles Davis: "Cooperative" is a very good word choice here. (I would bet that many doctors carry on regardless using "compliant", at least among themselves when no one else is listening.)
12 hrs
  -> Thank you, Charles. (I hear tell that "adhere" is beginning to fall out of favor and thart "embrace the treatment plan" is now being used, at least among the more forward-thinking types.)
agree  Martin Harvey
