Is there anything more important than health? I rather doubt it. If your body suffers from any disorder your mind suffers with the body, too. You can’t be good either at work or at studies. Aches and pains lead to irritation, ner­vous breakdown, exhaustions, apathy.

Doctors treat patients. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, stom­achache or earache, if you have a sore throat, eye or finger, if you feel pain in any part of your body, if it hurts you to move - you need help. First of all you ought to turn to your physician.

The doctor will examine you carefully: feel your pulse, sound your chest, heart and lungs, test your blood pressure. The only thing you have to do is to follow his directions. Otherwise a slight ailment can develop into an incurable malady.
