Dear Ann Landers,
fter I spent several hundred dollars to come to this world-famous medical center in Minnesota, the doctors had the nerve to tell me I am not sick. The final consultation took one hour. My X rays and previous history going back ten years were hauled out. The doctor ended the consultation by saying, "You are in good physical condition for a woman your age. Go home and find something to keep yourself busy." What he meant was, "You are healthy as a horse but you are nuts." When doctors can't get to the root of the trouble, why do they tell the patient his troubles are imaginary?-III But Undiagnosed

Dear III,
Lady, I feel sorry for you. You will now go from doctor to doctor, shopping around until somebody sells you an operation. But that won't be the end of it. You will then complain about your adhesions. Your pain is not imaginary. It is real but it is probably caused by anxiety, tension, and unre-solved problems. This is what your doctor tried to tell you. Only if you get your emotional machinery in good running condition will you feel better.
