Truth is people don’t go the hospital until they get sick, basically the way they take care of the family car.

Preventative care is the way to go. Yearly physicals and taking note of changes in your body. People don’t engage the physician with questions. They sit there, mad at the wait and say they have a cold or a pain, the doctor gives them some Robitussin, an anti-inflammatory or an antibiotic and they go home and take it.

Look at the number of people who don’t treat a cold and end up with walking pneumonia. You have to really monitor how you are feeling and you must convey that to the doctor.

You can’t sit in the office and say, “I’m okay.” Be as specific as you can. Note changes in your eating habits, pains in new places…
