While waiting for a routine checkup, I cant help but notice that some people seem intrinsically define by illness. Illness is how they get noticed or even how they feel valued. Im not talking about people who truly need medical attention. Im talking about the growing number who seem to embrace illness, medication, and the inevitability of decline without regard to change in lifestyle, diet, or exercise. Why bother with healing the problem when medication can disguise the symptoms? It really is out of control. Doctors should really demand the patients take charge of your their own health and wellness. (I know money is an issue.) I know I know I KNOW that there are people who are truly ill and need and deserve attention. They are however outnumbered. Do not go gently to that good doctor. The Affordable Care Act should have started with mandatory health and wellness education programs. I certainly needed this wake up call for my own wellness. Tirade complete.
