Two Choices

You have 2 options when you're in a serious car accident, that's not your fault, and you escape with minor injuries. #1- you can embrace the role of the victim and forever let your life be haunted by the accident and continue to let your life unravel because now you have something to blame it on, dwelling on revenge and bitterness. #2- rejoice in your good fortune that you were not more seriously injured and embrace a life of good decisions from this point on, celebrating the opportunity to live.

Bad Advice

I'm amazed at the number of people who come to the doctor who really don' t want to get well. When they don't like medical advice, it is labeled as bad advice. This type of advice most often involves taking some personal responsibility and changing bad decision making or bad habits.

Medical advice you don't agree with does not necessarily equal bad advice. It more likely represents a bad attitude. However, when you accept that you are responsible for your own health, there is no one left to blame but yourself when you don't get well. Having no one to blame is not acceptable to many people.

Lethal Duo

Smoking & Obesity cause a myriad of expensive health problems. Eliminate these 2 drains on the health care system and there is no more crisis. Ironic that they are both arguably 100% preventable. Even more interesting is that there is very little talk in the media or from politicians about preventing health problems. They like to talk about fixing complications, not preventing them.
