PHÁT TRIỂN KỸ NĂNG & PHẨM CHẤT
Why do you go to the doctor? We know that doctors fix broken 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.
WORKBOOK - TRACK 29
We all deal with our health problems in different ways. Some people
go to the doctor for every illness or injury. They are sensitive to pain
and they need medical professionals to tell them what to do. They
often use prescription medicines.

Other people don’t visit the doctor unless the problem is very serious.
They usually look after themselves. They seem to be able to turn off
pain in a way that others don't. They are more likely to try and take
care of their health without professional help or prescription
medicines.

Many doctors believe this difference in patients is the mind-body

connection of the individual. Some people can control or live with
pain or other symptoms that others cannot deal with.  This ability can
be called mind over matter.

This doesn’t mean that one person is weak and another is strong. It
means that we all are different and don't experience pain in the same
way.
