Day 3 of ‘Disease Week’ on the Napkin Dad Daily. Think of a doctor, nurse, or patient you know and forward these to them. The ideas are good for you, like Bran Flakes, but in color and on a napkin and inedible. Are you training for when you have a disease? Are you practicing being positive, realistic, disciplined, persevering? Are you building your sense of humor in the face of bad times? Are you teachable about what you are going through, what direction you can take to improve your chances? Just as with any new challenge that comes upon us, if we practice who we want to be, it will be much easier to be that when the moment comes when we need to act in the best possible way. Being prepared for a job, a marriage, a tragedy or a disease, whether yours or someone elses, isn’t impossible. We can’t be completely prepared, but we can prepare as best we can. What are you prepared for? “It is much more important to know what sort of patient has a disease than what sort of disease a patient has.” – William Osler, Canadian Physician, 1849-1919
