CNN recently interviewed actor Evan Handler who says being a "bad patient" can save your life. Drawing from his own experiences, Handler says that patients should double check everything, ask questions, and be your own advocate, even at the risk of annoying your physicians and being labeled a "bad patient." Such vigilance can save your life.

So what do you think? What behaviors or actions do you think patients should take that may be perceived as "bad behavior" by physicians?
