main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school

illness.{{/U}} {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Our
reactions are formed on the terror level. We fear the worst, expect the worst,

result is that we are becoming a nation of weaklings and hypochondriacs, a
selfmedicating society incapable of distinguishing between casual, everyday
symptoms and those that require professional attention.{{/U}}
Somewhere in our early education we become addicted to the notion that pain
means sickness. We fail to learn that pain is the body's way of informing the
mind that we are doing something wrong, not necessarily that something is wrong.
We don't understand that pain may be telling us that we are eating too much or
the wrong things; or that we are smoking too much or drinking too much; or that
there is too much emotional congestion in our lives; or that we are being worn
down by having to cope daily with overcrowded streets and highways, the pounding
noise of garbage grinders, or the cosmic distance between the entrance to the
airport and the departure gate. We get the message of pain all wrong. Instead of
addressing Ourselves to the cause, we become pushovers for pills, driving the
pain underground and inviting it to return with increased authority.
{{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Early in life, too, we
become seized with the bizarre idea that we are constantly assaulted by
invisible monsters called germs, and that we have to be on constant alert to
protect ourselves against their fury. {{/U}}{{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}}
{{/U}}{{U}}Equal emphasis, however, is not given to the presiding fact that our
bodies are superbly equipped to deal with the little demons and the best way of
forestalling an attack is to maintain a sensible life-style.{{/U}}
