I have family members who are doctors and they generally agree that the worst patients are physically/verbally abusive ones. Apart from that, they complain a lot about patients who don't follow their advice and then get angry when they don't get better.

don’t follow their advice and then get angry when they don’t get better.

That must be really frustrating.

Don't they complain about hypochondriacs?
