I consider myself a pretty strong person and not easily influenced by others. However, I can’t tell you what that first doctor’s diagnosis and the way he presented it did to my psyche. In february before taking down my Christmas tree I made a video for my daughter and granddaughter. I want to share more Christmases, but after the diagnosis of the first doctor, I was uncertain of how many more of those I would have left. The video was one, of what I hope will be many, of talking to my daughter and granddaughter. I hope I remember to do more. The doctor’s diagnosis and presentation have entered my mind like an infestation. I have to get him out of there. Second opinions are good. I’m now at the University of Texas Pulmonary department and feel these guys have much more understanding.
If doctors only understood the power they have over a patient. Not just physical, but the influence. As I’m walking on the treadmill, I’m often looking for videos that help me on my journey, and I found this video. Listen to what happened to Mr. Wright. It is profound. The placebo effect works. We can trick our brain and our body. I think there is much more we can control as our bodies are magnificent. At this point, I’m not sure how to tap into this.
Believe in yourself and your total health,
