emotions have their own compelling logic

Hypothyroidism Treatment : The need for a way out, for escape, sacrifice, or self-punishment, drives us to single out an organ to destroy by illness. The emotions have their own compelling logic. A man with sickness in his body follows a chosen route which the high command of the destructive drive has determined.
Medicine speaks of tissue memory. A part of an organ which has been injured in the past is said to retain a memory, and that is the part which will give the first sign of trouble when the individual is under stress.
The patient is asked to breathe, to grunt, to sit up, to lie down, but never, on pain of breaking the doctor's scientific concentration, to talk. And when the time comes for discussion of the case, for diagnosis and a survey of the treatment to come, it is the doctor, not the patient, who talks.
The doctor, surrounded by his charts, graphs, chemical analysis, spe­cialists' reports, undertakes to tell the still mute, still dehumanized suf­ferer what is wrong with him and how he is to be cured—or that there is
nothing wrong with him and he must go home to live with his pains and his fears as best he can.
If the patient enters the hospital he is likely to be still further stripped of his human individuality. One patient protested for all, "I'm flesh Num­ber 1040! When my doctor finally gets here, he is followed by his retinue—the bigger the doctor, the longer the tail!"
The examination is public, with hardly a word to the patient. Then comes the bright, "And how are we today? Feeling better? That's fine. Take it easy." And the doctor is gone.
Busy as he is, important as he may be in the profession, the doctor would make time for the few minutes of private conversation for which the patient longs, if he believed it would help the case. But all his train­ing is against permitting the variable, unreliable, unscientific human element to confuse or sway his handling of the illness.

  1. "Many who have followed Freud object to calling these forces instincts, although^ they do not question the existence of unconscious creative and destructive powers. In this interpretation, such forces are not born in us, as instincts are, but develop as responses to environment and ex­periences.

  2. Out came the handkerchief again. "Just as I'm falling asleep, the ihoiight of dying comes into my mind. It snaps me awake, my heart begins to pound—and that's the end of sleep.

  3. "But I didn't really mean to go into all that," he interrupted himself, and sat silent. Apparently he had said all he meant to say, for the moment. We proceeded to the examination.

  4. Hypothyroidism: Fatigue and lethargy after a long working day - which is a normal and natural. To come back to normal, healthy person well enough sleep, or simply survive until the weekend. But even if the rest does not help you return to the ranks, it's time to think about the visit to the doctor.
