Doctor, doctor, give me the news

It's interesting to me how we can entrust our bodies to doctors who'll probe, ask personal questions, prescribe incredibly expensive treatments or even cause us great personal pain via exams or surgical procedures and we "take the medicine" in order to get well.

People fly all over the country & even the world to get treatment with little regard for the time, effort & cost because their lives are at stake.

We may complain that doctors don't really understand our condition but if we're sick we know it & we'll take their partial knowledge over our ignorance or "Web M.D." any day.

Another interesting thing to me is when people who seem to be fine come up with awful illnesses "out of the blue." Some guy's in great shape out cutting his grass & has a massive heart attack and he's gone. Other times I've visited people in the hospital who seemed like they were on their death bed. They look AWFUL. But they respond to treatment and recover!

Why are some people so sensitive, yea paranoid, about their physical health but so spiritually numb. And why do people have so little regard for the care & feeding of souls?
