LIVING WITH THE NUISANCE AILMENTS

I shall discuss a number of the so-called minor illnesses. Only rarely do they actually disable people. Only very exceptionally do they lead to death. But in my experience as a doctor, I have found that a tremendous amount of pain and emotional upset is caused by these conditions—most of it unnecessary. Almost all of them are either completely curable or can be greatly improved by medical or surgical help. But all too often people with headaches, sore feet, varicose veins, haemorrhoids (piles), constipation, and so on, suffer stoically for years because they feel that their doctors or the hospital clinics do not want to bother about such little things.

Believe me when I say that any doctor worthy of his medical degree is extremely interested in correcting or relieving these nuisance ailments. Doctors want individuals to seek expert advice about anything they consider unsightly—and not to try to hide it when it can be cured, or to experiment with unscientific, often dangerous, ‘cures’ or ‘aids.’ Doctors know that the nuisance ailments almost never limit themselves to marring the appearance. They may interfere with sleep, spoil appetites, and pave the way for local or general infections.

I know that many persons suffering from the nuisance ailments have forgotten what it is like to feel really well.
