The doctor’s office is a logical place to be barraged with health questions.
“Have you signed in? Do you have your insurance card? Has your health changed?”
We freely give out personal information in a public setting to a stranger who may or may not be a trusted confidant assuming that our health will be improved by their interventions.
Imagine how effective it is to ask those same intimate questions of someone who really cares about you, someone who you know will give you an honest answer and will truly know the deep-down, gut-wrenching, soul-searching, bottom-of-the-barrel answers. Just imagine!
You are that person.
When was the last time you ask yourself health-related questions about your eating habits, exercise routine, how much water your drink every day, bowel habits and personal cleanliness cycles (i.e. handwashing, washing your bedclothes, picking your nose, sucking on your dirty fingers, scratching your groin, etc.)?
All the personal things that we do when no one is watching.
Each of us judges how our personal hygiene habits interact with our established health routines and medical diagnoses. Maybe it’s beneficial to maintain healthy practices that enhance the medical guidelines our practitioners recommend.
Next time when asked you can answer “My health is better.”
