It's always interesting to see where different people put their health on their list of priorities. I recently had two patients who seemed to be on different ends of the spectrum. The first was in severe pain and discomfort for years, consulted many different doctors, with many ultimately recommending surgery. When we spoke, he seemed desperate, saying that he really hopes that I can help him. However his actions said something completely different. He missed his first appointment, was more than 30 minutes late for his second, and didn't even show for his third. It's obvious he was not willing to go out of his way to be healthy. In contrast, another patient who returned after 2 years of being well, shows what happens when your health is a priority. This man has always been at our office early for every appointment -- and I don't think he even owns a car. He got great results two years ago and has already experienced great results this year, prompting him to refer his nephew. As these two examples show, time management plays a very strong part in health management, and thus life management. The choice is yours.
