Patients are Proclaiming Their Pain in New Ways

Patient’s are proclaiming their pain in new ways, “I’m stuck, I’m frustrated, I’m not making enough money, I never get ahead, I’m under-utilized, my life lacks meaning, something is missing, I can’t afford to lose my job, I’m stressed out, overworked, micromanaged, sick of politics, I don’t trust this country, the pressure to make quotas is killing me, my home life is falling apart, and my kids are out of control”. Patients want to understand the root cause to their conditions, a fundamental breakthrough of old paradigms. It is time to embrace the whole person model - living, learning, loving, and leaving a legacy. Do not rely on next year's healthcare model to assist with your pain. It's time to take personal accountability through exercise, diet, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.
