HEALTH & SMILE

“- Doctor Ho is treating only healthy people? - I wanted to be sure.

- Yes. Like every good doctor.

- So, who is treating sick people? - I asked, feeling a bit lost.

- A bad doctor – the girl said – so the one who couldn't recognize the sickness coming.

I have been observing him from the corner of the room for more than two hours. Patient after patient, without any rest, concentrated, with amazing energy and smile.

Smiling to people during one hundred years of life. Isn't it brilliant?

I was about to quit the Jade Dragon Clinic when suddenly I heard doctor Ho talking to a patient:

- Are you worried? Do you have a lot of problems?

- Oh yes, yes – she agreed, her voice sounding very tired. - A lot of problems.
- You can't sleep?
- I can't sleep.
- You worry too much – said doctor Ho.
- Yeah, I do worry, troubles at work, always something happening...

- Don't worry – doctor Ho interrupted. - Stop worrying about everything. Start feeling happy. Happiness is the best remedy in the world.

The rules of doctor Ho
(...)

The most important rules that I follow in my life and when treating my patients are:

1. Be honest and hard-working. Learn, expand your knowledge about the world. Never stop making an effort to achieve respect for yourself, trust in your power, care of yourself, independence and aspiration of self – improvement. Take care of yourself and your health.
2. Medicine has always to serve the welfare of people.
3. To make a treatment effective, a patient has to trust it, has to have optimistic, positive attitude, lead healthy, sane lifestyle and follow the rules of western or Chinese medicine – depending on needs and recommendations. Life and sickness exist beside each other, making an everlasting couple. The best remedy is optimism and positive attitude. Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Eat simple food, lead simple life and above all think positively and be optimistic.

4. Doesn't matter if you live in the times of war or peace, be honest to yourself.”
