Abstract
When a patient fails to follow the advice or prescription of a physician, she is termed to be "noncompliant" by the medical community. The medical community's response to and understanding of patient noncompliance fails to acknowledge noncompliance as either a relational failure between physician and patient or as a patient choice. I offer an analysis of Immanuel Kant and Emmanuel Levinas that refocuses the issue of noncompliance by examining the physician role, the doctor-patient relationship, and the nature of responsibility.
