The prospect of treatment of any nosological unit depends not only on the correct diagnosis, but also on the initial state of the patient, in which adaptation
reserves (RA) are one of the main factors. Unfortunately, this condition is not always correctly assessed by the doctor,
and sometimes, even with its correct assessment, it is not taken into account. This situation very often leads to a lack of effect from the therapy, and sometimes to a
deterioration in the patient’s condition, and the doctor enters into despondency, disbelief in his own strength or the correctness of the treatment. Sometimes the
patient is miraculously cured from a small intervention of the doctor during the course of the disease, – the doctor’s unreasonable optimism arises: “I can do
anything!” However, the application of the same “golden recipe” to the treatment of another patient does not lead to success, and then they say that the patient is to
blame – he did not follow the regime, did not follow the recommendations, etc.
