See this is yet another poor assumption on your part. You have no idea what this person will go on to do, if they get treatment. You are making a cost-benefit analysis without knowing the cost of losing a human life. And the reason why you're making this statement is because you can't possibly know that, just like you can't know that I went to medical school yet you declare it as fact at the very beginning. You also can't automatically know the reasons why someone might not be following your treatment plan for sure. It could be because they are not listening. But it could very well an institutional problem on your part that you're not thinking of. If you deny someone care and they die and you find out later that there may have been a way to approach it that could have got more compliance. But if you deny the care, you can't bring them back to life. They're dead. There is no hope for treatment or a turnaround with a corpse. That's why you have to do everything possible to keep someone alive, even if you believe that it's the person's fault. Because what if you find out later it isn't? You can't resurrect the dead.
