My kind of fun

May 10, 2013

I just saw a truly Wellthy patient.  It was fun!  She came in for her yearly exam.  She had no complaints, no problems.  She was happy, exercising, eating healthy and volunteering her time and her blood (Life Source) in order to help others.

So, why did she come in for a physical?  She came in because she cherishes her health and Wellth!  People who get it are unfortunately few and far apart.  Ah yes, I forgot to tell you what “it” is!

Without your health, everything else pales.  No amount of money can make a truly sick person happy or Wellthy.  Life offers many choices forcing us to prioritize one over another.  Prioritize your health over all others.  Work at being happy!  Happiness is a choice.  We’ve all heard it before.  “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”  When life gives you lemons, what do you do?

It’s fun working with a healthy and Wellthy individual.  There’s no bad news to give.  There are no lectures on changing your ways.  There’s none of the usual doc stuff like stop eating ice cream, stop smoking or let’s increase your medication and hope it doesn’t make you sick!

Help me be happy by shouldering your half of the partnership.  Work hard to maintain and improve your health.  The life you save may be your own and the doc you make smile will be me!
