Comment on is there a name for when you stop preventing a problem thinking it's solved and it comes back?

There should be a word.
My father-in-law was not feeling well recently so we took him to the doctor. He presented with very high blood pressure and we were all asking him what happened to the blood pressure medicine he was taking for a decade. He replied, "I stopped taking it because last time they checked my blood pressure it was fine."
This absolutely needs a word.

This is closely related to all the people in the hospital who are like “I didn’t need all these meds and supportive oxygen at home. The hospital is making me sick!”
