    I am glad I came across this piece of educative video. I experienced this as a caregiver to my father a stroke patient. Especially the aspect of taken medication his medication, it came to a point that I have to use persuasion methods before taken his medication and when I want to correct him in some aspect he won't adhere cos I heard when the moderator said something about two adult given instructions like the son instructing the father the patient of what and how to go about the well-being.
