Patients






The patient should be made to understand that he or she must take charge of his own life. Don't take your body to the doctor as if he were a repair shop.
Quentin Regestein


That quote made me smile- thinking of how people make their lives miserable by wrong habits, and then expect the doctor to do a miracle.


But, on the other hand, another line of thought goes that when one is with the doctor, one should forget about the illness getting treated(that's the doctor's job) and concentrate on well-being only.


See this:(From The Secret, one of my favourite inspirational books):



If you have a disease, and you're focusing on it, and you're talking to people about it, you're going to create more diseased cells. See yourself living in a perfectly healthy body. Let the doctor look after the disease....Bob Proctor


What do you think? Both make sense?
