Different Approaches

Yesterday I went to see the MD I go to.  She views herself as holistic and she is, relative to most MDs.   I am struck by the fact that she is fear based with respect to health matters.  For example she feels she should monitor any of my deterioration, possibility of diabetes, loss of bone density with age or signs of C.O.P.D., in case they happen.  My emphasis is on health and healing, embracing my health as it is, doing everything I can to stay healthy and dealing with what is.  On the one hand, I appreciate her thoroughness, which is why I go to her.  On the other hand, when I go to her, I also start to worry about possible problems, which does not contribute to my sense lf well being.
