MY question is this: Does
any man have the right to
live in idleness during re-
tirement regardless of his
age or financial circum-
stances?
II have been retired for
three years and have en-
joyed it greatly. I have led
such an easy, comfortable
existence that my con-
science is troubling me.
When I sit down to eat I
think of how many people
have worked to produce and
transport my food. I ask
myself: Where is the equity?
Sure, I am old and have
labored so long years to
reach my present status, but
I am still able to plant and
raise food. Should I not do
this as long as I can, in
order to offset the unpro-
ductiveness of those, who
through no fault of their
own, are unable to work. -"

Stop
Killing
Yourself
By PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

The other day I took my
1856 auto to a garage for
a checkup. (Since I am a
doctor, you will excuse the
termD After 10000 miles of
taking the rutS and smooth
roads of its comparatively
full life, it was a bit slow
on the pickup.
THE MECHANIC was an
elderly man. nearing so, at
least. I wondered how he
was able to squirm under a
car, have strength enough
to turn a rusty bolt, and
still be able to crawl out
again.
"All you need are new
points and a carburetor ad-
justment," he said. Then he
patted the hood as if it were
human and said: They
really built cars a few years
back. This should last you
another five years. I'm run
ming a 1854 car that has
done over 100000 miles"
I left feeling with a re-
newed affection for my old
car. Not once had he used
the phrase: Its an old
buggy. What do you ex-
pect?" And 1 thought that
many of us doctors might
take a lesson from him. Too
often. doctors say to an old
patient who has aches,
pains and other discom-
forts: After all, think of
your age. What do you ex-
pect?" 1 do not hold my
self up as a paragon. but if
I ever said that to an elder
ly patient in need of help
and encouragement, I think
I'd bite my tongue.
-
It know this must seem
a silly question, but just
what do the letters MD.
stand for?" one reader
writes.
THE ANSWER IS, of
course, doctor of medicine.
But as I have said in this
column, they might also
stand for medical detective.
When you present your
self to your doctor with
complaints, he has to check
on hundreds of bones, thou
sands of muscle fibers, scores
of Joints, thousands Of miles
of arteries, veins and nerve
fibers. There are millions OF
living cells involved in the
investigation. He must size
up your emotional and men
tai makeup before he can
really treat you effectively.
You can help him solve
the mystery of your illness
by willingly furnishing him
with clues. When he asks
you questions about your
self, don't refuse to answer
on the grounds of prudery
or extreme sensitiveness.
