Business Insight How to stay young (up to date and stress-free) Am I challenging you again? I hope so. We live in unconventional times and we need more than just conventional wisdom. As I say that, I almost dislike it, because it would be so much better and easier to use the old-fashioned conventional wisdom of our parents to solve the problems we encounter. But unfortunately, the last two decades brought in so many changes not only to science and technology, but to our own lives and everything that hides under that term. Some of the changes have been great: medicine progressed so much that many lives are now saved and many surgeries conducted, and so many new treatments discovered that, for a doctor like me, it has been a real journey full of excitements and joy. On the other hand, in order to experience that excitement, doctors and their co-workers have to continue learning non-stop. What I thought was the way to treat psoriasis in medical school is out the door; we have new medicines and they require constant study and opening a new chapter every year. This constant learning process for doctors should not be unique just to medical professions; it should be true for everyone, and at every age. Often, what you think was true 20-25 years ago about how you cook or you eat, and that pertains to all of us, is no longer true. Genetically modified foods, growth hormones in meat, pesticides in fruits and vegetables, saturated fats and unhealthy plastic tools, all of it makes us question how to re-discover the new ways of healthy life. In general, we seem to be having a lot of every day. Yes, please, read, listen, and do problems with the truth itself: we sometimes are told not to believe what we see but rather what we are being persuaded to see. This is make your decisions. Keep learning every day not only misleading, it is plainly dangerous. and keep reflecting on what you learn. It is And it can be applied to every situation. Last week, 1 received a call from a patient, not my own patient but rather a lady who has been probably suffering from multiple conditions and seeing several doctors. She, like many others, was tempted to receive free glasses and free rides to her appointments, heart, they do not feel stressed out as much, exactly like the nice voice in insurance advertising was promising. What the voice was not warning her about were the conditions behind that excellent plan. Those conditions were nowhere to find when she was signing works. Keep learning. Every day. paperwork to drop her regular Medicare and switch to a private insurance substituting Arlington Dermatology. We leam every day Medicare. She did not learn much about the new plan except what the nice voice on the phone was repeating after advertising. To make it short, she ended up with huge medical bills, for which she has no money. She is frustrated, sicker than ever, and does not believe anyone anymore. I am pretty sure you know more cases like this. I wish she would have left her name and number; my office staff would have called her. But we do not know who she was and cannot help. What we can do is to ask and warn our own patients and readers to be not only careful what you believe in but getting back to old times when you kept leaming your homework. Find reliable sources, several sources, for the same information, before you proven through social studies that people with natural curiosity and need to learm constantly, and people to spend at least 10-15 minutes at night to self-reflect on their day and what they learned, those people are actually doing much better in life. They stay younger at and they enjoy being up to date with younger generations. I am sorry if my advice of how to stay young misled you. But I can assure you my advice Oh, and Happy Holidays!
