Ok but now consider a physical therapist telling you that the reason your body hurts is because you're sitting and moving wrong or because you lost strength after an injury and offering you training during appointments and exercises you need to do to fix it. If you say "this is your job to fix not mine" you're just going to stay incapacitated.

Hell, cardiologists love giving homework. Not just general self care, but diet plans specific exercises, regular tracking, shit like that. A lot of doctors have recommendations and instructions, and while they can do more, prognosis is largely influenced by patient willingness to engage in treatment plans.
