My favorites are "noncompliance" and "drug seeking behavior." They're are usually understood as: "patient doesn't really want to get well," and "patient is an addict." More often, I think they mean: "I didn't manage to come up with a treatment that worked for the patient," or "the patient is in chronic pain and wants to be treated."
