Studies indicate that patients who challenge their chronic illness and vigorously manage their treatment have improved their attitude and enjoyment of life. Most importantly, the patient must be sanctioned to manage care and treatment (Cristcot Inc., 2014; Lamas, 2014). On the contrary, there is an increasing number of individuals suffering from a serious chronic illness who face countless obstacles in managing their condition, not least medical care which often does not meet their needs for effective clinical management, psychological support and information. The main reason for this could perhaps be the disparity between their needs and care delivery systems essentially aimed at acute illnesses. Evidence of effective system changes that improve chronic care is increasing (Bruce, 2001; Clark et al., 2000; Joint National Committee on Prevention, 1997; Legoretta et al., 2000; Wagner et al., 2001 ; Young et al., 2001). Nonetheless, complications related to improved chronic care can be classified into three general classifications. The first is the general problem of fluctuating behavior of doctors, which further complicates the situation of caring for chronic patients due to the diversity of doctors involved.
