BIGGER PICTURE, FUZZY FOCUS

Looking hard at the bigger picture takes attention away from the small stuff.

Everyone complains about hair loss, overweight, under motivated, but forget their sense of freedom to itch, eat, and flop around.

The solution comes to everyone and it’s never the same.

Do this for that, but not too much, not too often, and it may or may not work.

Bald guys promoting how to regrow your own hair with 250 free implants that start growing the first day?

Yes.

Big people promoting weight loss with pills and injections?

Yes.

Lay on the couch while drugs do their work?

For me the most egregious are Pharma companies pitching products to viewers who should ask their doctor if it’s the right product for them.

If you watch enough TV you’ve seem them.

First it’s the malady, then the effects of the medicine, then comes the possible side effects.

If the disease is bad enough, the side effects don’t matter. Anything is better than what’s happening.

The worst outcome? That the symptoms of misery continue with the side effects of the medicine compounding the misery.

The Biggest Picture

The smart guys say to work the problem to find the best solution.

The other guys say we can solve everything whether there’s a problem or not.

If you were a patient with life threatening problems, which one would you lean towards?

As your street doctor this is my recommendation:

Find someone familiar with your problem.

Ask them for a work-up to find the source, or close to it.

Start with a graduation approach.

Then get a second opinion.

PS:

From my experience of thinking one solution fits a variety of problems, I was wrong.

PSS:

Whether it’s two different doctors with medical degrees and successful practices with positive reviews, and one prescribes a blanket of medical treatment, and the other says, “based on my research you don’t need a blanket, just a sheet,” you may get a feeling that you’re expected to make a choice beyond your own education.

It could be a life threatening choice if you go the wrong way.

Don’t do that.
