Why do you go to the doctor? We know that doctors fix broken My notes:
arms or legs, or put bandages on cuts, or give medicine when we are
unwell or in pain. But more and more, doctors and nurses say their
job is looking after the health and happiness of the whole person,
not just fixing health problems.
This isn’t a new idea. About eighty years ago, Paul Tournier, a Swiss
doctor, began talking about looking after the health of the whole
person, including the body, the mind, and also the person’s life in
their village, town, or city. He was interested in health and
happiness, not just illness— the whole person, not just their health
problems. His work was very popular and his books were translated
into many languages.
But even now, some doctors and nurses still think about illnesses,
not about people. The World Health Organization says that many
doctors and hospitals still need to change—to think of health as
connected with the environment, people’s jobs, and their family life.
This is the key to making everyone healthier and happier.
This is why we sometimes visit the doctor even when we’re healthy.
Doctors ask questions about food, exercise, happiness and so on. Do
you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables? Do you have much stress in
your life? This is because eating well, exercising, and avoiding too
much stress can help us stay healthy. That’s why the doctor tells you
to use sunscreen, or to exercise or to eat less sugar.
