Everybody hopes to stay healthy until he dies, but his wish rarely comes true. Young or old, many a man suffers from disease. Young people especially think they can permanently stay healthy, so they sometimes mistreat themselves and get sick. People with an incurable disease become disheartened and may even think of committing suicide. Cancer and AIDS are the most dreadful diseases now, with no effective medicine. But prevention is the best option, and a regular check up is the first step. The most important thing is that we trust our doctors. Under the assumption that our body is too complex for any human being to understand, some tend to rely on natural or spiritual healings. Do you think they deserve criticism for being ignorant?
Opinion samples: 1. We have the illusion that doctors are almighty in treating sick people. But Doctors are just technicians, with limited knowledge of our body. Our body is too complex for any man to understand after only six years of medical training. Doctors are far from being perfect. But we must follow their advice, or orders, when we’re in the hospital. Listening to doctors is still the best option for curing us.
Express yourself: 1. Do you believe in faith healing? 2. Do you trust doctors? 3. Have you ever had the flu? If so what did you do to cure it? 4. Do you go to the hospital right away or just see a pharmacist when you have a cold? 5. What is your most common illness? 6. Do you regularly see a dentist? 7. Why do many people complain about doctors? 8. Do you think AIDS patients deserve criticism? Do you think they should be disadvantaged in getting Medicare? 9. Do you think cancer and AIDS will be conquered in the near future?
