Gydymo režimo laikymasis labai svarbus tiek pacientų sveikatai, tiek sveikatos sistemai. Kuo geriau pacientas laikosi gydymo režimo (vartoja vaistus, keičia gyvenimo būdą, laikosi dietos ir pan.) tuo geresni jo sveikatos rodikliai ir sveikata apskritai.
Gydytojo bendravimo įgūdžiai tam turi daug įtakos. Šie įgūdžiai yra išmokstami ir pritaikomi kasdieniniame darbe, net turint nedaug laiko. Turint gerus bendravimo įgūdžius, įmanoma sukurti gerą terapinį aljansą/ryšį su pacientu, o tai padeda pacientui pasitikėti savo gydytoju - tai savo ruoštu skatina laikytis gydymo režimo. Pranešime pateikta gydymo režimo nesilaikymo pasekmės ir būdai, kaip jį pagerinti.

Cartier's 3rd Voyage of Discovery and Settlement. He brought with him 400 settlers on five ships and settled not far from Quebec City (Donnacona) at a place which is called Cap Rouge, today just down the St Lawrence from Quebec. He continued his explorations and returned home after a terrible winter in which a large majority of his fellow adventurers died due to disease and the cold. The settlement failed and there was no further activity in terms of settlements until Samuel de Champlain returned in 1608 to found the actual settlement which would become Quebec City. Cartier never returned to Canada and died at home in Limoilou, just outside St Malo in 1557, where he is buried in St Vincent Cathedral.

7. Black Jacks are slaves and freemen trained
as sailors, pilots and at times captains
As the slave of a naval captain, Olaudah Equiano was
trained in seamanship and traveled extensively with his
master. He was sold to Robert King, a Quaker merchant
from Philadelphia who traded in the Caribbean. King
enabled Equiano to buy his freedom, which he achieved
by his early twenties. Equiano travelled to London and
became involved in the abolitionist movement, which
had been particularly strong amongst Quakers.
Many royal naval vessels were piloted by
blacks -- some of them runaways, other
enslaved to loyalist masters, and still others
pressed into service.
Although Black seamen
performed a range of duties,
usually the most menial ones,
(c. 1745 – 31 March 1797) they were particularly valued
as pilots.
