I think that some of the hardest experiences involving my job would be situations where I care more about the patient's health or recovery than the actual patient does. So, for example, when I give recommendations on fractures and healing and that kind of stuff, and then the patients decide that that's not something they can live with, they do their thing and then kind of question why they're not getting better, or they just blatantly choose not to follow instructions. So those situations tend to be the hardest for me to deal with.
