Ignorance is Bliss

 

Ignorance is Bliss
 
I had an interesting interaction with a patient last week. I was sitting there with a lady that at first glance I thought was probable a Medicare patient, meaning over 65. I was shocked when I realized she was only 52yo. 
 
This lady was about lbs over wt. and had bad enough knee pain to keep her from almost all physical activities, plus a plethora of other health problems. To my amazement when I asked her how she would rated herself on a scale of 1-10, 10 being as healthy as possible, she rated herself a 10. My response, "Compared to what?"
 
This is something that I frequently see, people with a belief system in which unless they have a major medical diagnosis they consider themselves healthy. Our current health care system is like the blind leading the blind. People who don't understand true health setting the standards for what is and is not healthy. 
 
I first had to acknowledge this lady, as she had made improvements in her health over the previous years, but it was also my job as a wellness doctor to "show her the light" in that she had the ability to achieve a level of health she didn't even know exist. 
 
One of my mentors once told me "If you change the way people think you can change their life." If you can change the way someone views their health you can change their life. B.J. Palmer, the developer of chiropractic said "Your better to light one candle than curse the darkness."
 
How can you apply that to your daily interactions with people ? Lead by example and let people know there is something better than not having a diagnosis, it's call being health. Go ahead and shed some light.
