Considering all factors can make medical decision-making more complex and time-consuming; there is an attraction in handing-over responsibility entirely to the medical team. Whilst superficially this may appear a simpler approach, the resulting disempowerment can be a barrier to health gain. This often manifests as a diminished engagement in health promoting activity and a lack of concordance with treatment plans. Such avoidance is totally understandable human nature, so lets not get mired in earnest disapproval; the health consultant is broad-minded enough to be accepting of such a nihilistic viewpoint. Here's a light-hearted quote:
"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."
H. L. Mencken
Whatever your viewpoint may be, there will be benefit in gaining individualised, independent fresh insights to strengthen your engagement, broaden your horizons and consider new avenues to enhancing your health; if that's what you want. In most cases progress can be made by viewing the situation from a new angle; a restorative process brings balance and allows problems to diminish. The health consultant is considerate in not adding further burdens, is flexible and able to adapt to your agenda.
